Welcome to Perennial Passion
About Me
- Diana LaMarre
- Michigan, United States
- I am so glad you stopped by to visit my garden. I garden in lower northern Michigan (zone 5) in far less than ideal conditions. I have too many pine trees, too much shade, too many rocks, herds of hosta-munching deer and rabbits who think my lilly buds are gourmet appetizers. I am by no means an expert in horticulture or garden design--just an amateur with a shovel and a passion. My garden changes daily during the summer and I will be updating frequently. During the winter months, I blog about my favorite cold-weather hobby--quilting and just my everyday musings. I hope you enjoy your visit, and that you will come back soon.

Cute!
ReplyDeleteWow... great colors!
ReplyDeleteI've been on a purple kick lately...
From my little book and going by the antenneas, it looks like a Ultronia underwing. If I could see his wings, they I may have been able to pinpoint exactly what it is. It looks a little like a Sphinx moth too which is a tomato hornworm moth. Ugh!
ReplyDeleteI looked at 'real' photos of the two moths I mentioned, and they don't look like your moth-darn!
ReplyDeleteHow about a Promethea? This one has the feathery antennea the others mentioned did not.
ReplyDeleteI don't know, Dianne. I typed "promethea moth" into google images and didn't find anything that looked like him. I tried "michigan moths", but found nothing. Whatever he is, I think he is one of the most attractive I have seen.
ReplyDeleteI've not got the time to search this, but here is a likely source for an answer...

Thanks, Jen. I will have to check it out.
