Nettle-Tap Moth
Thu 2009-06-04
I have tentatively identified this as a nettle-tap moth (Anthophila fabriciana). Most of the photos of this species available on the web have them more grey and less reddish-brown than the above one, but the pattern of light and dark patches seem to match pretty well.
