Primrose moth (Schinia florida)

Larose Forest

This stunning pink moth is the Primrose moth (Schinia florida), who is typically found with its head buried in the flower of the wild Evening Primrose flower. I was happy to get a shot of the entire moth when I found this one hanging out on a fern.

A pretty pink coat with a blond fur collar. A very well dressed moth.
