Last night was another good one for mothing. My favorite visitor was the big
beauty which I'm thinking is some type of Carpet Moth. Wingspan is about 2
inches and it has 2 large "horns" on its back, right behind the head. Those
horns should help with the ID but all the pictures I can find online of this
type of relatively wide, flat moth are from the top.
