The Io #Moth, Automeris io, is one of my favorite moths and a semi-frequent visitor to the bug light. This #FocusStacked shot from 2024 is one of my favorites, definitely a #portfolio shot. Not entirely sure what the small moth is...

A macro photo of the face of a fuzzy brown moth. The moth's legs and face are covered in brown fur-like scales. Large yellow feathery leaf-shaped antennae emerge from above its dark eyes. The wings have a grayish brown leading edge which transitions to an orange brown.

A photo of the moth from above, it's wings spread. The forewings are orange brown with pink stripes near the root, and a small yellow eyespot just forward along the middle of the wing. A dark purple line is just forward of the trailing edge. The hind wings have black shading and feature magnificent black and yellow eye-spots, thought to mimic the eye patterns of owls, used to deter predation.
