    Does anyone know the story behind the phenomenon of this moth and Confed. Jasmine (Trachelospermum jasminoides)?
    I had not noticed this in previous years, but these little moths seem to be drawn to it. They start out like the one in the photo, and then
    the next day, I notice they are still there but appear to have died. It's almost like they got stuck and couldn't get away - either that or
    they just died from happiness...or they're not dead- just intoxicated.

    Anyway, very odd - just wondering if someone knows. I've searched around but no luck.

    Thanks!
