stop painting moths, be thankful you do not live in Cali,...

to wit:

You may not hunt moths under a street light.

It is illegal to molest butterflies.

We used to see these at Yankee Rowe in the spring at night on the VC deck. They are colored that way as a defense mechanism. Birds, amphibians, reptiles, and rodents know what yellow and magenta means, so they won't eat them. Her name is Rosy...Rosy Maple Moth. No relation to Marla.
