Two Primrose moths (Schinia florida) #11164, in Evening primrose

Taken in Larose Forest. It is unusual to see two of these strikingly pretty moths together in a flower. Or at least, unusual in my limited experience! These are astonishingly pretty moths with big green eyes and vibrant pink bodies, most often found head first in an evening primrose flower, occasionally sitting out on other flowers.
