| Syngamia florella Moth |
I've seen a lot of these tiny moths, but whenever I looked up, "tiny
black, brown, yellow, orange, red moth" I didn't find this one.
Finally I emailed Alan, and he was kind enough to tell me what kind it
is; thanks Alan! Once I looked it up by its name:
Syngamia florella Moth, it was easy to confirm that he was correct.
The moth above on the left is nectaring on Fairy Cups, Richardia grandiflora. The one on the right is sipping nectar from a Hempweed Vine.
Yes, the Syngamia florella Moth above is sitting on my arm. I hope I can get another one to do that now
that I've upgraded my camera!
This little Syngamia florella Moth is nectaring on
Spermacoce verticillata.
