Chocolate Prominent - Hodges #7921 (Peridea ferruginea) - Peridea ferruginea
East Brunswick, Middlesex County, New Jersey, USA
July 1, 2013
Found near CF lights in wooded backyard at 10 AM. Remained all day, protected from the rain.
This was the best possible angle to get the photo on the weatherproofing of a sliding door.
ID'd by brute force as I had never seen this species before. It has the appearance of one moth on top of another.
First BG listing for NJ, and first July listing for MPG in NJ.
