Hodges #7053 - Showy Emerald Moth - Dichorda iridaria -

Tallahassee, Leon County, Florida, USA
October 5, 2013
Size: wingspan ~25mm

At outdoor light: This moth kept flapping its wings after landing and moved around (what purpose?), making it very difficult to get a picture. October image for Florida.
