Description
A Polka-Dot Wasp Moth (Syntomeida epilais), or Oleander Moth, drinks nectar from a Penta flower (Pentas lanceolata). Although the wasp-shaped wings make it appear dangerous, it is harmless.
Female polka-dot wasp moths do not release pheromones to attract males for mating, but emit ultrasonic signals instead.
