Lambdina flavilinearia - Lambdina punctata - Male
Colorado Springs, El Paso County, Colorado, USA
July 4, 2017
Size: approx 1 inch long
Had Moth and Mothing Facebook comment that this is Lambdina species. After I obtained the species, I looked at the known Lambdina species documented in Colorado, from the Moth Photographers Group. The only documented MPG Lambdina is # 6890. This moth appears to be a match for # 6890, Lambdina flavilinearia. Would appreciate additional comments.
