Primel - Primula

Sony Alpha 1 with FE 90mm F2.8 Macro

After two weeks of examining every flower on every primrose I came across, I finally got lucky.

Like the name indicates, this small moth, with a body length of 15 - 19 mm, feeds on the flower of the Primrose. The green larvae feed on the buds.

A friend of mine calls this the "strawberry ice cream moth".

The first primroses are available, so lets hope, the spring comes soon :-)

Taken during my permitted one hours exercise during the UK's Coronavirus lockdown - a celebration of nature blossoming around us despite these difficult times. A lesson to us all that we are not more powerful than Mother Nature whose bounty goes on and on.

This is a new one for me. Larvae feed on flower buds but not leaves of evening primrose The eggs are laid on flower buds of host plant. (Bug Guide.net)

There are 2000 moth species recorded in Alberta. I have only about 1,990 more to go.
