Description


This is a Clear Wing Wasp Moth. First one I have seen this year. They breed in the oak tree in the front yard, but I can never seem to catch any hatching. This one was on the fence in the backyard. Titled "Mimic" since it is colored to mimic a wasp as a defense. Thanks for looking... Bruce
