Pink and Gold Moth - Colomychus talis Maplesville, Chilton County, Alabama, USA April 20, 2017 Size: About 1 inch wingspan
A very striking moth that came to my porch light and perched on the ceiling. The colors in the photo are very accurate. He was gold and pink/maroon. The four "globs" of light gold on his wings were lined by a darker gold. He was also lined with gold around his wings. His head and thorax and tail were orangish. I noticed that he perched with the end of his tail curved up. His antennae were also orange and curved outward.
