The moth was on a chair on the deck of our camp, which is in a densely wooded area right on the water. Our resident moth expert (Pete Wyckoff) thought it appeared to be just "hatched" from its chrysalis. I arrived late afternoon and it stayed in the same place until dark. It was gone in the morning.
