Eight-spotted Forester and Buttonbush Flower
This Forester moth is very interesting and eye-catching but difficult to capture. As the name suggests there are 8 spots on the black wings --more if you count both sides. The underwing spots showing in this shot appear to be pale blue and cream. What stands out especially are the bright orange leg puffs and the hairy yellow stripes trailing behind the head.
