Hello Bev:
I have evening primroses but have never seen anything as beautiful as the
Primrose Moth on those flowers. What a pretty moth.
Cheers,
Judy Tufts

Subject: Re: [NatureNS] primrose moth
Hello Suzanne (and all),
Jim Edsall has provided information on the differences between the two
moths. I would just add that, while the Rosy Maple Moth (Dryocampa
rubicunda) often come to a porch lamp (or moth lamp and sheet) in numbers at
night, I have never had an Evening Primrose Moth (Shinia florida) come to
lights. If you wish to see one, check the flowers of Evening Primrose
during the day and you will often find a moth with its head pushed into the
center or the partially closed flower. Here are a couple of photos to
illustrate what I mean.

Hi;
This looks just like the Rosy Maple moth on Bev Wigney's site that I had on
my screen door about a week ago. I live in Hubley near the BLT trail.
Excuse my ignorance, but are these two species related? The same moth with
two different names, perhaps?
Cheers;
Suzanne
