Size: Length ≈29mm
Caught at black light illuminated sheet in the evening (this photo was taken on the next day in daylight). The ID was provided by DNA bar-coding, record BOLD-3J81YDQB3, providing the first BugGuide image of this species for Florida (on the MPG map a record is shown for North Florida but the species is not mentioned in Heppner's Checklist of the Lepidoptera of Florida).
