Vè jodi a se yon espès bèl ak ra soti nan SE Arizona ak Meksik: Lerina incarnata (Erebidae: Arctiinae). Menm jan ak anpil espès lòt jou vole li se briyan koulè ak byen gen anpil chans aposematic. Apre yo tout, plant lan lame a se yon letron ak cheni a se jis kòm sansasyonèl (anba a).

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).
