Photo: In plain sight

National Moth Week is July 20-28 and what could be better than this? Floodwood photographer John Dahlman just happened to share this photo of a primrose moth (Schinia florida) hiding in an evening primrose flower. "They are very adapted to their environment and blend in perfectly with the blooms that have expired," Dahlman wrote. According to bugguide.net, the yellow and pink adult primrose moths like to rest on primrose flower stems or inside blooms during the day, and fly at night. They lay eggs on the flower buds once a year; larvae then feed on the buds, although not on the leaves of evening primrose. They burrow into the ground to pupate.
