Eight-spotted Forester Alypia octomaculata Hornsby Bend, Austin, Travis Co., Texas 5 April 2007

Initially was spotted while it was feeding on Leek flowers. Landed on a nearby fence where I was able to photograph it with the wings out. It was very skittish, did not like me getting close, but kept returning. I thought it was a butterfly judging by the way it held its wings at rest. The following day it was found resting on Red Raspberries leaves, about 15 feet from the first sighting. Now it rested like a moth. Tufts on legs very interesting.

I've seen a few of these flying around the last week but today finally had a chance at a couple of photos, although lighting was not the best. This one was feeding on a dewberry bloom.
