  • This morning Belinda pointed out a beautiful Atlas moth that was resting on the Block 1 wall. I had never seen such a moth. I took several photos and sent to Dr. Joseph Greenfield, Duke Department of Medicine who confirmed the identify. Then a Google search for information (links above). Here are a few photos.
