Moved from Flower Moths.

Nice find and good match on the Moth Photographers Group pinned plates. Appears uncommon throughout the range.

 
Great!
Good writeup for the Guide page. This seems to be the time of year of Schinia here so I am on the lookout for new ones.

 
Thanks Mark,
Sept-Oct is great here in south Texas for Schinia also. Looking forward to the new goodies you find in Oklahoma!
