New Jersey Moth - Thaumatopsis edonis Off Rt. 539 south of Warren Grove, Ocean County, New Jersey, USA September 13, 2020 Size: 22 mm head to wingtip
This is a big animal. Arguably the longest most impressive Crambini I have yet encountered, at 27 mm with its walrus moustache, and 22 mm without. On sheet with UV black light.
