Pyralidae on Lead Plant - Sciota rubescentella

Pyralidae on Lead Plant - Sciota rubescentella
Blankenship Prairie, Woodbury County, Iowa, USA
August 10, 2020
July 20, 2020: collected a larva on Lead plant, Amorpha canescens, presumed to be Sciota rubescentella
Larval ID based on this rearing

As of the collection date, other larval posts without corresponding adults, had not been confirmed to species.

George Smiley later confirmed these to species. Thank you George.

Unsuccessful rearing, larva died.

Quite wonderful that Blankenships invited me to visit during the COVID shutdown. Thank you.
