Angled Wave - Scopula ancellata
Town of Baileys Harbor, Hidden Corners Sanctuary, Door County, Wisconsin, USA
June 24, 2004
Adult flying during the day. ID made by examining the specimen. This was a DOOR COUNTY RECORD. Ancellata, is from the Greek word, ankon, meaning "a bend or hollow, an angle," and the Latin word, ellus, "a suffix added to noun stems to form diminutives."
