Eight-spotted Forester

Sometimes the wildlife comes to us! In this case, an Eight spotted Forester flew up and landed on Erika’s sock while we walked in the Carleton College arboretum on 4 June 2018. This moth looked familiar, but I did not remember that we saw this species when we visited Big Bend National Park in Texas during 2014. Obviously, this moth ranges widely. Here is a link to what I wrote about Eight-spotted Foresters.
