Thanks!

Yes, thank you. I think I realized it wasn't a noctuid yesterday but forgot to fix my post. I appreciate the tip...

anyone know the species?

Ceranemota

That is not a noctuid. I think that is a species of Ceranemota (Drepanoidea: Drepanidae: Thyatirinae) - Hodges' List ## 6242-6249

Update: Bycombia verdugoensis

Hi Chris -

please let us know if this update means you've definitively ID'd this moth somehow - it's currently in the wrong place in the guide, then, and should be moved. I can create a genus/species page for it if necessary.

Thanks!

Yes, ID confirmed

I dissected and was able to figure out the ID after getting guidance from Julian Donahue and others. This species appears to be pretty variable however. None of the specimens at the LACM are a 100% match for this one.

Thanks!

Thanks for the follow up. Hopefully JD will see these comments and make a new page for this moth. I will also post a notice in the Forums section - I don't know enough about moths to move this one...

BTW, Chris, if you get time, could you take a look at these images and the discussion within - you seem like you would be particularly qualified to comment and ID this critter (spider parasitioid)...

I threw my 2 cents in on that

I threw my 2 cents in on that parasite, 100% not an acrocerid though.
