Hodges #8339.1 - Simplicia cornicalis - Simplicia cornicalis - Female
Tallahassee, Leon County, Florida, USA
September 7, 2019
Size: Forewing ≈13mm
Resting near black light illuminated sheet in the evening. I am quite certain that this is Simplicia cornicalis, an established invader from Asia in Florida. I noticed I photographed an individual a year ago but for some reason did not submit it (palms and thatch available in our yard). Anyway, I would appreciate confirmation of the ID of the one submitted now.

Images of this individual: tag all

I was quite sure, but ...
Thank you, Gary, for confirming. I was just wondering why I provided the one of last year with an ID in my files, but for some reason was not sufficiently convinced to post it.
