Synanthedon - Synanthedon scitula - Male
Pine Brook, Isanti County, Minnesota, USA
August 13, 2019
Size: WS 16 mm
This was found in a pheromone trap in the evening in one of the two traps in which I caught five Synanthedon helenis about a month earlier (July 13-18). I've been trying to decide if this a late helenis or something else. For one thing, the caudal fan is less rounded, more wedge-shaped, with yellow borders. I suspect something other than a worn helenis, but can't place it.
