This insect is a Whirlabout (Polites Vibex). It gets its name from the landing and take off flight patterns – a circular or vortex or whirling motion that is quick and darting. It feeds in nectar from flowers. They can be found in scrubby or open habitats including dunes, fields, pinewoods, roadsides, forest openings, yards, and parks. #butterfly #moth #whirlabout #macrophotography #macro #insect #flower #afewinterestingfacts #laarboretum #garden #park (at Los Angeles County Arboretum & Botanic Garden) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDx7_YlB2dw/?igshid=17y41yvtpipjn
