Orange-Spotted Flower Moth (Syngamia florella) An Orange-Spitted Flower Moth, one of many I've been seeing lately, on a Tridax Daisy. This photo was my perfect opportunity to get a nice photo of the species, however I got too excited, which led to me getting carried away and snapping a lot of photos without checking my camera settings or adjusting anything. I ideally would have preferred to get the whole flower and moth in focus but I'm still a bit satisfied I got a photo.
