Syngamia florella [En-Es]
Today I want to tell you about an insect that I was surprised to find almost at dusk, on one of the lantana plants. It fed on nectar, but it didn't look like a butterfly and it was too early to think it was a night moth.
I found her again the same day, but at night, near a light bulb.
