A Pink-legged Tiger Moth in Prince George's Co., Maryland (6/17/2005). Bob notes: Indistinguishable when viewed from above from other unspotted Tiger Moths such as S. congrua, Agreeable Tiger Moth. That species shows yellow on the upper legs, where this species is pink or a pinkish-orange. I've seen well over 100 of Agreeable and got tired of searching for a sign of pink. Photo by Bob Patterson.
