Title: Moth identification
Post by: borntoslay on October 21, 2022, 09:07:55 AM: This moth was straight Wilding out on our propane tank at hunting camp. Not sure if that was his tongue or something in his mouth but it almost seemed like he was trying to regurgitate something. Got some pretty good video of it too. Interesting creature and behavior (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20221021/c8719a5154440d87d7591d53c9e6db6c.jpg)
