Davad, I just noticed . . .
You are not checking the "Adult" box on your specimens. I went back and checked some of your more recent ones. This is very important for BG's data collection and analysis efforts, as well as for other users, etc.
This is the wording on the submission form:
Check all the following that apply to this image:
Please check adult (moth/butterfly) and/or immature (egg/caterpillar/pupa) when submitting to Lepidoptera.
If you don't know for sure, don't check it. For example: for caterpillars check immature and for butterflies and moths check adult.
If the photo shows mating behavior, check both male and female.
Thanks. You are taking some nice photos. Keep up the good work.

Something like . . .
Kisutam syllis
would be a very rare stray to the U.S.
It would be more likely in the Lower Rio Grande Valley
down near McAllen and there are few U.S. records. (Stranger
things have happened though.) I think most of them have been
seen much further south in Oaxaca, Mexico.
