Field Notes

Description:

small pink and yellow moth. Tended to stick to grassy areas to hide. Was skittish but allowed me to finally take a photo. Maybe 1/2 in from wingtip to wingtil. Seen around 5:30pm

Habitat:

low grassy areas, preferred to flit to a new location on the ground if I got close. West central ga.

Notes:

Thank you for help with the ID. :)
