Surprised to see one these enjoying the nectar on my yellow lantana. (There were two of them flying around together.) To my knowledge there are NO Oleanders anywhere near my home, so they must be cruising thru the neighborhood. (Everyone knows how poisonous the plants are.) I remember as a kid collecting hundreds of the orange with black hairs cats of these moths!

This is a Polka-Dot Moth. Mimics a wasp! Cool, huh?
