Thanks go to John Glaser for identifying this moth, and for sending us (Larry and me) to the microscope to note coloration of the last antennal segment. The white stripes bordering the yellow-orange band are really a series of fine, short white dashes. At the tiny size of this moth my camera is incapable of recording such fine details and some blending and blurring occurs. The common name used here is of my invention. | ||
