Pale Microtheoris vibicalis (Whip-marked Snout Moth) - Microtheoris vibicalis
Mills County, Texas, USA
April 10, 2019
I see these pale Microtheoris vibicalis quite often, but there are no images of them on BG. I sequenced COI of a pale one (similar to this specimen) and a dark (typical) one and the sequences are less than 1% divergent.
