I don't know if it is good or bad, as far as the garden is concerned - but what I would really love to know is what it is!!!! Friend who took the photo says it is 2x larger than a normal moth. LOL - which, of course, tells me nothing. Antennae don't appear to be festooned in moth fashion. Anyway, any help would be most appreciated. It was photographed in western WA state.
Name for this insect, please!
I think that Belinda would be a good name for this moth. Seriously, though - it appears to be Noctua pronuba (Lepidopterea: Noctuidae), commonly known as the large yellow underwing - see http://tinyurl.com/26m6rqy for an image.
How wonderful - and very much appreciated!!!!!!!!! Belinda the Noctua!!! Thank you!!!!
