Very Early Spring noctuid with two spots on each wing at lights. - Stretchia
6 miles NW Lyons, Boulder County, Colorado, USA
March 15, 2017
Size: FW ~11.5-12.5
THis noctuid at lights is one of three moths seen at lights that have the two spots on each wing. See also BG # 1359203 and 1359674. Although they are very variable, they most likely are all the same species. It somewhat resembles BG # 1348908 seen at about the same time this year in New Mexico. Ours were seen in the CO Foothills at ~ 6400' Elevation. Any help with this moths is much appreciated.
