Here is an interesting plate of fossil insects from the Eocene of Utah. This plate contains a rare Fossil Moth (Lepidoptera) and a handful of other insects. The Moth is complete with large wings intact. The distinct color pattern on the wings is even preserved, which is extremely unusual. All of the insects are easily seen on the natural plate of shale. This is a rare association of a Moth and other insects from the Green River Formation.
