apparently you arrived at Eupithecia castellata?
...I just saw it listed as such on MPG!

That gives me my new guess!

Confusion............
I do not remember why I ended up posting this photo under 7462 at MPG. It might have been due to the similarity of this specimen with a photo by Gary McDonald. However, his moth is presently identified (almost) at BOLD as Eupithecia longipalpata.

Looks Like 7461 - Eupithecia subvirens
listed in California Moths Database for your area, there may be additional greenish species in the region. If possible, could you send me a taller photo for use at MPG?


From Covell Collection at MPG
