Brown Scoopwing - Calledapteryx dryopterata
Ailsa Craig, Middlesex, Ontario, Canada
June 12, 2005
Came to garage light. I hadn't seen this species before, and haven't seen it since.

Nice Find
Nice Find,
This is currently listed as S1? in Ontario (extremely rare). Riotte 1992 says it is known from only a few localized places in Ontario, and lists Ottawa, Grand Bend (not too far from you) and Hamilton.

There are other records from Ottawa on Bugguide, and I have a record from Orangeville, July 18, 2015.
