Scallop shell moth (Rheumaptera)

Larose Forest

There are several Rheumaptera species which look very similar. This is likely the Cherry Shell Scallop moth. It is nectaring on milkweed.

A delicate little beauty. Especially like it since it's happy on the plant! And doesn't mind human interaction!

Excellent sharp macro with good detail captured.

scallop in its name seems appropriate looking at the design of the markings...it seems intent on gaining access to that bud..maybe it is time to eat..
