Parker--the flannel moth photo is very interesting! I didn't realize truly
how "different" the males and females could look. I would know that both
were Southern Flannel moths, but I don't know that I would have realized the
wing length difference and subtle differences in wing pattern without seeing
them at the same time. thanks!!!!
