Empyreuma affinis - Male
St. Lucie County, Florida, USA
January 6, 2007
Size: BL 20mm
These moths were abundant on the tree. A Polistes major nest was close by. As a result they are frequent victims of the wasps.

Jeff, if we're to move these out of ID Request, can you separate the moth images fromthe Polistes photos so they can be placed in the right areas of the guide? include comments linking back and forth so the entire series of oleander photos can be seen, perhaps.

Actually,
they are already in the right areas of the guide. As seen, this image is on the proper page, and the wasp photos are under P. major, which you may not have noticed.
I haven't decided where to put the tree images I left in ID Request yet. Probably frass.
