Police Car Moth

Police Car Moth
Love the name of this moth, a reference to its black and white coloring. This example was photographed in eastern Washington along the Kettle Crest trail in Colville National Forest. These moths were everywhere and these were the plants they seemed to favor, which I believe to be the Varied-leaf Phacelia.
