JPEG of pink inchworm

[Liz Day]

This is a photo of the beautiful pink inchworm, Eupethicia miserulata, 
taken by Dave Green on the flower head of a purple coneflower here in 
Indianapolis.   I often see them on flowers and believe they eat the 
pollen.  They are not always pink; some are white with pink markings (photo 
on request), green with white markings, greenish brown, or a mix of warm 
browns with reddish-brown or pink or brown markings.   The adult is a small 
gunmetal-grey moth that is very common.
Enjoy....

Liz
