Coneflower Borer - Papaipema nelita

Coneflower Borer - Papaipema nelita
Ailsa Craig, Ontario, Canada
September 11, 2004
Came to garage light.

Update 13 Jan 2006: I had previously misidentified this as Papaipema eupatorii. Thanks to Jeff Crolla of Toronto for catching the error, and thanks to Don Lafontaine for confirming the ID as P. nelita. Title corrected, and image moved from Joe-Pye-Weed Borer page.
