Pyrausta inornatalis or Little Pink Moth

This small, pink moth was just hanging out on the side of the rocket blower sitting on my desk. It's scientific name is Pyrausta inornatalis.

Very nice Gene. I love the black background, really sets off this beauty. Also nice to find a treasure right there close to probably where your camera was.

Thanks and yep, I didn't even have to get up.

One of these days I hope to learn how to get the kind of DOF you're able to on your macro work. I'm glad I have such great photographers to strive to match.

Lovely series - wonderful colour moth

Thanks. The eyes on this moth seem a bit odd too. They're not compound eyes (I don't think) but rather almost look like "normal" eyes.
