  :) - it is pretty isn't it. Very attached to the little orchids too. I actually scared it, but it looped around and around until it found it's favorite flower again and was very patient while I took a ton of photos.. Posted 7 years ago

    It's awesome. I did some reading on them recently and apparently most plume moths are deeply attached to a single host plant, just like you describe. Posted 7 years ago
