Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: These moths are dormant during the day until about 6 pm when they start congregating on our mint and feverfew plants in large numbers in July and August. I observed one drinking nectar today. They are very sensitive to proximity to larger animals, I was not able to get a camera closer than 1.5 feet and none landed near me until I sat motionless for approx 20 minutes. They seem more interested in feeding than interacting with each other.
The feverfew flowers in the photo submitted are typically about 20 mm in diameter.
