Moved from Moths.

Pretty sure this is Decaturia pectinalis. Only one listed in this genus. Can you resubmit this at higher resolution? It's a little different from the other examples on MPG.

hmm.. look thought the frass because I think I saw at least one more of your moths in there today..

And this is all very strange because I happed to find a few other images in frass last week that were frassed with out knowldege of the contributor and for no apparent reason... see this thread and feel free to comment there on your experiance.

Mistake?

Apparently this problem of frassing without an explanation has been taken care of. I suggest that you send this and other images back to ID request, you deserve at least a comment, some attempt of ID or at the very least an explanation why the image isn't worth keeping, also a little more time should elapse before an image is discarded. This is the way it used to be and it seems that this is the way it will be in the future.
