Hi BG, I went searching for Plumeria as a host plant. I only found one reference from 1982 and that was referenced to the Sphinx Moth(s). I think your link was the same one I found, I just remembered Sooty instead of Dusky. I used your links first!
I have all sorts of skippers here. The attached image is of a frequent visitor to the Bidens alba (pilosa??) especially. That's why I let some of these plants stay. All sorts of critters like them.
Check out this picture of Horace's Duskywing http://larsonweb.org/butterflies/skippers/hodu2.htm
Thanks for all your help!
