Dear friends!
Would you, please, tell me what pink or remarkably pinky butterflies and moths you know?
I've managed to find just these ones:

I THINK this is the moth I used to see occasionally back when I was growing up down in Mississippi!
Thanks for the name!

No prob, glad I brought it up. They are very cute.

We have several maples in our yard. I reckon I'll have to do a moth survey one night next summer and see what comes to a backlit sheet.
By the way, how are your carnivorous plants doing?

I got really sick over the summer and lost all my venus flytraps and Sarracenias. I was very upset about that. But my nepenthes are doing great and I'll probably concentrate just on those since I seem to be good at them. I miss the Sarrs and hope to try again with them one day. I lost some rare ones.

That's the problem with being either a gardener or a livestock owner: When you get too sick to care for your plants or your animals, there's not too many that can or will do the job for you.
I'm glad you're well again!
