Small Black Moth with Red and White Highlights - Eutrepsia inconstans
Road to Barfoot Park, Chiricahua Mountains, Cochise County, Arizona, USA
August 7, 2009
Size: head-body length ~ 10 mm
Pattern most closely resembles several Ctenucha spp. (Arctiidae) but also Melanchroia (Geometridae). But no perfect matches. Consistently landed with wings closed over back.

7285 - Eutrespia inconstans
I sent the photo to Bruce Walsh who replied: "A great record! This is the [Geometrid Moth] Eutrespia inconstans (7284), which I know only from Northern Arizona!!!"

I now of no online photos of this species. Lovely!

Please contact Bruce and offer the photo for use on his Southeast Arizona website.
