This cool moth, with a wingspan of about 3/4 inch, flew up and perched cooperatively on a zinnia stem when I was watering my flowers just after 7pm.  It stayed for at least nine minutes, allowing me to get lots of photos and great views of it!  The only other emerald moth I've seen was a lot bigger, and I didn't have my camera with me to get its photo.  That one was in Denton County.
