Rattlebox Moth

Utetheisa ornatrix

Habitat:

Disturbed fields, wood edges

Notes:

There were 2 colorations, but now no longer recognized as distinct subspecies; there is now just 1 species with two adult color forms. One of the larger and prettiest day moths that flutter around in fields as you disturb the plants. Here it was nectaring on Scorpiontail.
