Caradrina ZH3Z8462 - Caradrina clavipalpis

Moved from Speckled Rustic.

There's an easy way to rule out C. multifera on this one- it only flies in the fall (Aug-Oct).

 
Thank You!
A while back I placed another one of mine, much darker, here. You might want to check it too. Thanks!

9657 -- Speckled Rustic Moth -- Platyperigea multifera
B.P.

 
Thank You
Thanks for the conformation. BugGuide is now treating Platyperigea as a subgenus of Caradrina, which leaves me in bit of a quandary.

Did you happen to look at the dark example noted above? If it is Platyperigea multifera as well, it is the only dark example I've seen and it contradicts Covell's description.

 
I Looked at it and Am Puzzled By It....
... no opinion to offer on it.
