How funny Denise! The bee balm is a favorite of these moths but they fly about so much they are really tough to get a decent shot of.

No way!!! I saw one of these very same moths this very same day (in NC) and it was also feeding on bee balm! I hoped to get a few pics and post them, but none turned out well enough. Very coincidental.
