Anybody ever seen these butterfly / moths around? Apparently I have a whole bunch flying around my backyard while I'm at work. Happened to catch one this morning as I was setting up a few drip systems for the day.

Thank you for the info. They must be sniffing out the Alfalfa I use to make insect food. Hummmm, ( light bulb going on over my head ) One more possible feeder rearing project.
