Saw this moth this morning when I was heading into work.

Saw a fairly common moth on my way to work this morning and thought I would share it with you all.

They live in South Florida and most of the united states.

Their Larva are a type of hard backed cutworm.

I found this picture online to show you, and these have been a pest in my garden this year. Oh well.
