Remarks

Ann Hendrickson 1/16/2023

I am now positive that none of my photographs posted here are Hemeroplanis trilineosa.

Unfortunately, none of my specimens has full 658 coi, but all of them fail at the END of the string. All of them have been matched to the same specimen collected by Ed Knudson which DOES have full 658 COI.

To solve this problem I did a NIH blast of Hemeroplanis trilineosa and Ed Knudson's specimen and the differences occurded all over the string, so mine CANNOT be Hemeroplanis trilineosa.

Terry Hibbitts photograph looks closer to Hemeroplanis trilineosa but would need DNA to prove it. I will keep looking for a dark one to test.
