My colleague brought this moth to me yesterday. Sadly, she had already perished. (The moth, not my colleague.) Isn’t she beautiful (and big)? (Again, the moth, not my colleague. Well, on the “big” part. Oh, just look at the bug!)
I believe we have Amphipyra pyramidoides here, commonly known as the Copper Underwing, though I certainly welcome corrections.
Looks like death to my wool stash. That’s what I’d call it.
I don’t think this one eats as an adult. No worries.
