Apamea remissa (indocilis) - Ignorant Apamea Moth 9362 - Apamea indocilis
Bay Center 98527 Willapa, Pacific County, Washington, USA
June 29, 2014
Size: wingspan ~36mm
Field No. 4485
BOLD RWWC1387-14 High matches on publ db for both A. indocilis and A. remiss. On species db. ten 100% most published matches with A. indocilis. A species not determined as BOLD still holds A. indocilis as species instead of sub species. All high matches for remissa or indocilis. The status of these two species will get worked out eventually but as pointed out with specimens from here there are a lot of species in common between Eurasia and North America .. most likely a result of the post Wisconsin ice retreat and connection of the two continents with successive vegetated coastal lowlands with the changing climate.
