Hidges #6885 - Oak Besma - Besma quercivoraria - Male
Tallahassee, Leon County, Florida, USA
February 10, 2022
Size: Forewing ≈20mm
Near outdoor light. An unusually early-in-the-year encounter for this location: pupa must have been fooled by the brief interruption of a rather long period with frequent night temperatures on both sides of the freezing point. My apology for the bad condition of the moth that I had to retrieve from a poorly accessible location.
