I love the idea of a police car moth - and very handsome he is, too.

When I found out the common name (after, I swear, HOURS of going through websites looking), I was delighted. I'd never seen one before, so that was really cool. :)

I swear we don't have that variety of butterflies and moths. Either that, or I'm very unobservant!

We have checkerspots, painted ladies, monarchs, and swallowtails, along with those little orange skippers, that we see all the time, but I think you have to be in the special places to see a huge variety like this. They like damp muddy spots, because that's where they drink, and if there's flowers around, so much the better. A pond with a muddy verge is an excellent place to look, if you have such a spot anywhere around you. :)
