While doing my nightly work out many moths are attracted to the porch lights. Among the usual suspects was one i havent seen for years...

Tiger moth.....

That's a beauty

In summer they are plentiful in my area and all my arachnids love them. Provides a nice variation to their diet. They are very plump-bodied moths and make a substantial meal for many invertebrates. They are indeed beautiful moths in their own right as well.
