I don't know moths much at all.  I think it's a plume moth of some sort, maybe a rose plum moth?

I concur, but I don't know if its Canadian or American because it carries no registration markings. Certainly an unconventional design but moths are otherworldly anyway. It's too bad that Gary doesn't do his annual moth presentation anymore. I miss it! He's probably off on some exotic expedition looking for the rarest of the rare, like scuba-diving moths, or moths that build bridges in the jungle. Do they even have moths in the jungle?

This one lives in the flower. I decide to let him, considerint he is not likely a vegetarian, and might prey on those bugs. If that's the case, a lot is depend on him.
