Normally, I put new pics in the queue but I couldn’t do this one like that.  I had seen this moth in my butterfly garden but it flew away before I could get a pic.  It reminded me of a firefly but I knew it couldn’t have been one.  So I was surprised to go to Black Bayou today and see one in their butterfly garden.

Just like with the one at home, this one was hanging around the sunflowers.  I finally have an ID for it:  yellow-collared scape moth (Cisseps fulvicollis).

Sorry for fangirling but it’s so awesome when I discover new things in my home state.  Now that I know its species, this is probably one of the woolly bears I see during the seasons.
