Tá an lae inniu moth speiceas álainn agus neamhchoitianta ó SE Arizona agus Meicsiceo: Lerina chorprófar (Erebidae: Arctiinae). Cosúil le go leor speiceas lá ag eitilt eile go bhfuil sé daite brilliantly agus aposematic leor dócha. Tar éis an tsaoil, Is é an gléasra óstach ar milkweed agus is é an bolb díreach mar néal (thíos).

This image of an old, spread specimen hardly does the animal justice, but one lucky photographer found a female ovipositing at the very top of a hill outside of Tucson, Arizona. While you’re at it go check out some of Philip’s other great photographs on SmugMug.

As I mentioned above this moth also has an equally impressive caterpillar that feeds on Ascleapias linaria (pineneedle milkweed).
