Pink-patched looper moth (Eosphoropteryx thyatyroides), #8905

Byrne Big Creek Nature Preserve

This is one of the most beautiful moths I've seen... unfortunately, my photos cannot capture the real colours. The wings are a striking silvery tone, with those pink patches really very pink, set off by the white dots and touches of rusty colour!

That's a real beauty, what a great find!

It looks attractive here, but from what you say, must be spectacular in person. V.
