acorn moth - Anatrachyntis badia Knowland Park, Oakland, Alameda County, California, USA December 27, 2007 Size: 5mm
December 27, 2007
This moth emerged from a coast live oak acorn I collected in November and kept in my (heated) house.
The moth doesn't look too good here because it was chilled for the photograph ... a little too much, but after a few more photos it flew off.
