A few days ago, I was passing by Granny's Garden, a wonderful school garden, and the gorgeous bright Summer-colored flowers were calling to me. So I stopped to wander among those lovely flowers and vegetables. I peered in closer. On a celosia flower, I spotted this pretty-patterned creature I thought was a beetle. turns out, it's a moth!
Ateva aurea, is an ermine webworm moth from the family Yponomeutidae (means "feeding secretly").
