Red twin-spot moth (Xanthorhoe ferrugata), #7388

At home

According to Bug Guide: "North American larvae feed on chickweed (Stellaria spp.), ground-ivy or gill-over-the-ground (Glechoma hederacea), and smartweed (Polygonum spp.)" I have a lot of Glechoma in my lawn, so it should be good for producing more of these beautiful moths.
