Hodges #0307.1 - Hawaiian Dancing Moth - Dryadaula terpsichorella - Male Female
Tallahassee, Leon County, Florida, USA
November 29, 2015
Size: Total length ≈8mm
At outdoor light. Looking at my photos I conclude that this species likes the red of our front door!
I had posted a mating pair here of which what I assumed to be the male was one of the very dark morphs of this species and I wondered whether its sexual dimorphism extends to the pigmentation: this may be supported by the pair posted now but the dark individual clearly is not as dark as the one in the earlier photo.
