Anyway, I always wondered where the term "daylight moth" came from. I noticed that some photogs started it at NPS and CS and then it continued.
As far as I remember, it's always been "day-flying moth" to describe generically, this group of moths that fly during the day instead of at night, which the majority of moths typically do.
Yes my mum keep telling me it's day flying moth when i was young. Quite a nice looking moth to start with.
