Enigmogramma basigera, Pink washed looper moth
Found this fren on calamansi lime. Thought it was a cabbage white but it was actually eating the lime leaves. INaturalist says it’s the above and articles say its host plant is Lobelia.
The pot was next to Lobelias before the seasonal plant migration. It looks well-fed and ready to cocoon so I guess we’ll see if it survived on citrus. #InsektenSamstag #NativePlants #gardening #jardin #mariposa npub1p9hxd3g330yqj24pk9j2r6g52acdhnu3mkf7caddq7dz25keq2ss8ln3uq (npub1p9h…n3uq) #insects #moth #caterpillar #plants
