Moth - Trichodezia albovittata
Copyright © 2007 Matt Goff

Moth - Trichodezia albovittata
Sitka County, Alaska, USA
July 21, 2007
Size: approx 2cm
I chased this moth around for awhile, but was never able to get a great picture of it. I'm hoping that with the pictures I did get it can be identified to family or genus at least, but species would be great.

Thanks
Thanks for the species name. One thing I notice is that the larvae are said to eat Imapatiens spp, but I am pretty sure there is not any of that around where I found this moth, and the closest I have heard of touch-me-nots being is 50+ miles away and/or over some pretty significant mountains. That seems pretty far for a moth to wander, but I guess I don't really know.
