Steve Hurt replied:
Thank you so much, Nader!! I only got a couple of photos of this moth before he flew away. I think he was camera shy...

Fantastic photo. It's hard to believe that these colorful and so nicely ornamented creatures are just moths, not butterflies.
Steve Hurt replied:
I really appreciate the kind words and thanks for taking the time to comment. I would call this moth a night butterfly with its vivid color.
