This moth landed on the boat with us about 20 miles offshore, south of the lower Florida Keys.
They migrate between South America and Florida each year.
Fuji A920 in macro mode, daylight.
It likes peanut butter crackers.

Something tells me peanut butter crackers are not its native diet ;-) Cool to find this guy out in the middle of the ocean!

A neat looking moth, I bet he blends into the environment well.

Nice detailed shot. That is a long way off shore to find a moth.

Interesting story Waddy. Imagine the ones that had no place to land when they got tired from flying. Any port in a storm, as they say.
