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. http://magickcanoe.com/2012/summer/prim-moth-july2012-1-large.jpg http://magickcanoe.com/2012/summer/prim-moth-july2012-2-large.jpg regards, Bev Wigney Round Hill (in summer) On 2013-07-09, at 12:24 PM, Suzanne Borkowski wrote: > Hi; > =20 > This looks just like the Rosy Maple moth on Bev Wigney's site that I = had on my screen door about a week ago.
