hello
hi yurika, no help with the ID for this moth, i don't know how else to contact you so i'm posting here. i am helping to compile a list of nj bees, so if possible, please take as many bee pics as you can and post on bugguide. (if you want to collect specimens, that would be great also). feel free to contact me (hgo@amnh.org) thanks!
