Thank you. They are more like a butterfly than a moth, they are so bright and breezy.

They do love our lights. They will just sit there for hours on end, basking in their glow, and will only move once the light has gone out.

Wouldn’t it be cool for there to be a Fire moth and they were together?

I can see where the common name came from, as the predominant color is just like sulfur. Again I am reminded of one that I see in Minnesota, the Io moth, although each underwing has a large black eye rimmed with red/orange. The overwing is very similar, though.

How nice is this? And perfectly positioned. I did think at first glance it was a big wedge of cheese. But a beautiful moth.

I do always enjoy seeing these. One of the first moths I saw as a kid and one that stuck in my mind.
