This Moth had one of its legs "stuck" in a crease of a long narrow green leaf on the roadside; eventually it got loose and flew away, but lost the one leg in the process. Along Mormon-Emigrant Road, approximately midway between Leek Spring Ecological Area and Silver Fork Road (North to Kyburz and Highway 50). Elevation about 7,250 feet. Within area of 2021 Caldor Fire impact.
