Giant Leopard Moths in Siren, WI

This beautiful “bug” was spotted on the deck at our office and drew a lot of attention. It’s  a Giant Leopard Moth with a 3 inch wing span. Underneath this stunning black and white facade is an equally striking color story – a bright blue body with reddish-orange bands! We had to ask ourselves why this lovely moth was drawn to our office. Once we understood that dandelions were a favorite on their meal plan, it all made sense! Our lawn has more than a few of those! – Wanda Boldon
