The Oleander Moth larvae feed on the highly poisonous Oleander Plant. They also feed on the Devil's Potato. The highly poisonous plant is shunned by most caterpillars. The moth is sometimes called the Polka-dot Wasp because it looks and acts like a wasp. This trait is important to its survival. It is one of the few moths that flies during the daytime. It has a red behind, metallic blue body and wings and white spots. It is sometimes called the Uncle Sam Moth because of its red, white and blue colors.
I had to have a second Oleander, but the flowers of this one are white. Maybe one of these plants will attract the Oleander Moth. |
