It seemed to like the plumeria just fine and when I checked on it in the morning the only sign he was around was a few half eaten leaves from the fallen branch I put it on. I was thinking the early bird got the worm until I read here that these guys do their thing in the dirt. I hope to see it in all it's winged glory soon, if in fact that early bird ate elsewhere. Thanks for the ID and a very cool site. Aloha, Doug In that photo I was relocating the little guy from my landlords “fancy plant” to something less… uh… desirable with a plumeria leaf.
