This harvester butterfly kept flying around a light just like a moth. Even if I caught it and let it go it went right back to the light. I took it home to photograph and then let it go.

Just taking off! I have never seen an io moth before this year, and now I am seeing them everywhere I look: at least 12 separate individuals in 4 locations! I am not sure why. At first I thought it was just luck, now I am sure there are more than most years.
