Pyralid Moth - Hodges #5574 - Heliades mulleolella

Pyralid Moth - Hodges #5574 - Heliades mulleolella
Mobile (Dog River), Mobile County, Alabama, USA
July 15, 2009
Finally got my wish finding a fresh Hodges #5565. Apparently the new models were released yesterday, as I had several on each porch. I noticed two in close proximity, one was dark, almost black to the eye. This is the dark moth in this post.

The other moth is the usual reddish brown.



Is this species sexually dimorphic?
