Spotted Beet Webworm - Hymenia perspectalis
Parkwood, Durham County, North Carolina, USA
September 23, 2005
Size: 18 mm wingspan
At my porch light. Wingspan measured in place. A rather worn specimen, but scale loss seems to be preferentially in certain areas. Perhaps this is the origin of the genus name, from the membrane-like areas on the wings?
