Police car moths on Mount Baldy in the White Mountains in Arizona

Descrição:

""Nature will bear the closest inspection. She invites us to lay our eye level with her smallest leaf, and take an insect view of its plain." Henry David ThoreauWe went camping and hiking in the White Mountains in northern Arizona in the Apache-Sitgreaves National Forest near Big Lake and Mount Baldy. Eric went trout fishing on the Little Colorado River and the West Fork of the Black River. We saw numerous butterflies such as these. These are known as "police car moths" Gnophaela vermiculata because old time police cars were black & white."
