momof2jb Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 That is really cool. Where did you find it? Couple of years ago we found a really cool moth that we couldn't identify and the agriculture dept at the local university told us what it was and wanted to have it b/c it was a super rare find. Nature study at its best. Thanks for sharing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
