Crimson Speckled
Utetheisa pulchella
The adult Crimson Speckled moth frequents open country, cultivated land, gardens, and flower-rich scrub across warm regions. It flies readily by day and night, visiting flowers for nectar and sometimes travelling long distances during migrations. Its vivid red, black, and white wing pattern warns predators of defensive chemicals retained from its larval diet.
