My Yard ~ Southern Pink Moth,

 The Southern Pink Moth, Pyrausta inornatalis, wingspan 13mm, was documented in PA in 2020 and again in 2021 on Butterflies and Moths of North America. It wasn't a moth seen here until the past 3 years. I saw it back in the late summer or fall of 2022 but it's in my yard again this year. Host plant is annual and perennial salvia. It's little moth but it is affecting my salvia.
