Moved from Zanclognatha.

Ooops! Another One of my Errors

Thanks, Karl, for asking in email about antennae. They certainly are different from Zanclognatha because this species is 8362 - Phalaenostola metonalis.

Zanclognatha spp.

I can't settle on a single species. If that "bolt head" is some kind of watermarking device I hope it can be turned off so as not to ruin good photographs. (no rsvp, thanks)

"Bolt head"

part of the moth. I don't use watermarks. Thanks for all your help, Bob.
