Unique pattern made me curious about this moth

I’ve had my share of “interesting” photo assignments here at The Telegraph. There was the big rock in Lyndeborough, N.H., that we talk about all the time. This afternoon Linda Small of Hudson, brought in an interesting bug to our newspaper.

At first I was taken back. You know - all those pictures people come up with where they spot angels in clouds or the Virgin Mary’s face mixed in to a design. Was this too a divine creature with a sign?
After quickly Googling “cross” and “moth,” a web site called “BugGuide” popped up - chalked full of pictures of moths and information about them. Sure enough, I found this one. It’s a Clymene moth, Hodges #8107 to be exact, found in eastern North America. Yup, it’s a common one.
