This beautiful moth was found in Wal-mart's Lawn and Garden Center in Glasgow, KY. It was very calm and willing to be photographed. NEVER touch a moth or butterfly's wings. They can be easily damaged. Although it's tempting, touching them can damage their protective water coating. If you must move one for its safety, gently put your finger under its legs to encourage it to crawl onto your finger. Most will gladly ride short distances if you are gentle and move slowly.
