Summary
[edit]
| Description | It chose to land and spend the day on my Bouganvillae. The flowers of which are exactly the same colour as itself. Do they sense this provides camaflage? I believe the caterpillar's food plant I Willow-herb which also has the same pink flowers. So perhaps they see colours. Moths certainly know where to land and disappear! |
