Plusiine - Autoplusia egena
Long Beach, Los Angeles County, California, USA
August 28, 2009
Size: about 20mm length
After browsing the plusiines in Powell and Opler's book, I think that this is #8891, Autoplusia egena (Plate 49.27). Though, after checking the plates at MPG I'm not sure I can rule out the possibility of A. egenoides, and there does not seem to be any live photos of either moth on the internet. Can anybody point me in the right direction?
