Yellow Crambid
Copyright © 2006 Cotinis

Yellow Crambid
Bentsen-Rio Grande Valley State Park, Hidalgo County, Texas, USA
October 20, 2006
Size: 18 mm
Found at a lighted wall during the day. Wingspan measured in place (wing chord 8 mm).
Looks to me like a Crambid, perhaps something in the Pyraustinae. Perhaps in this area of MPG?
I see a number of suspicious yellow crambids. Ideas?

Bob Patterson suggests Loxomorpha flavidissimalis (Hodges 5155), see MPG:

5155 -- Loxomorpha flavidissimalis Ought to be Considered......
... a candidate, but I'm far from certain it's the correct species.
