Dutchess NY: another Mint Moth (aka the Small Purple and Gold) this one photographed on my Garlic Leeks. They are so tiny that if you don’t pay attention you will miss it. Can you see how furry & fuzzy it is? #mintmoth #smallpurpleandgold #moths #insects

Dutchess NY: tiny but beautiful Mint Moth (aka the Small Purple and Gold) in my Mint Garden; needless to say they love Mints. There are quite a few of them & this one photographed on my Pineapple Mint. #mintmoth #smallpurpleandgold #moths #insects
