A focus stacked macro photo of the front of a white and golden orangish blond fluffy moth. The moth is covered in dense fur-like scales. The ends of its legs are black, then white, and golden orange blond as they join the body. The moth has long feathery white antennae and white scales around its face. Its forebody is coved in the golden orange blond scales. The wings just visible behind are white with yellow and black markings.
A photo of the moth's dorsal side, the 2 pairs of front fluffy legs are held parallel to each other on eiither side of the moth's body, the third pair are much further down. The moth's furry forebody takes up most of the front part of the moth. The moth's abdomen, pale and fluffy is just visible under the ends of the wings.
A blurry phone photo of the moth illuminated in 365nm UV light. The front part of the moth's face and legs fluoresce strongly as to some of the white markings on the moth's wings.
It is definitely fluffy moth season 😻
