Ghost Moth in a thistle at Silver Lake, Brighton, Utah. According to Bugguide.net, the male of this species "hovers
over open ground, sometimes slowly rising and falling [like a ghost]" to attract females. © Carol Davis 10-01-2008
This was a beautiful moth and I was extremely lucky to find it on this colorful Autumn day. Below is
a picture of Silver Lake in all her brilliant fall colors. © Carol Davis, 10-1-2008
Silver Lake, Brighton, Utah. Photo was taken just a little ways up the Twin Lakes trail. I found
the moth beside the trail not far from the large boulder pile. © Marlene Fish 10-1-2008
