Hungry little moth

which I have never seen on my roses before. Does anyone know this little critter?

[Kathy A]

Wow, gorgeously patterned!

[Beryl Lloyd]

How lovely

[Carole Sandford]

Not seen those markings before. It’s a beauty though!

[katy]

No clue at all but what a gorgeous one!. Brilliant photo of it too Diana

[Elisa Smith]

We have those here, I have allways liked their colourings. I google the name Utetheisa pulchelloides, the heliotrope moth. Lovely capture, really like the way you have framed it with the leaves outside the lines.

[Liz Gooster]

I’ve never seen one like that before but what an incredible capture! 🦋

[Mags]

It has a very colorful pattern. Great shot.

[Bucktree]

Great capture. Never seen one before.

[Susan Wakely]

Lovely speckled moth.

[Chris Cook]

Wow! What striking wings it has. I’ve not seen one like that before.

[mittens (Marilyn)]

Whatever he is, he is cool looking. Great shot.

[Christine Sztukowski]

Wonderful colors and detail

[gloria jones]

Super details...What a colorful moth.

[moni kozi]

Superb cape

[Ellen Bogenschutz]

Great detail, such an interesting pattern for a moth. I thought they liked to camouflage and blend in to their surroundings.

[Renee Salamon]

So pretty

@nannasgotitgoingon You're a star Elisa, thanks so much for the id! Is it common where you live? I wonder how it got here as none of my friends have ever seen on :-)
