Euxoa septentrionalis ? -
Euxoa septentrionalis
Aromas, San Benito County, California, USA
October 6, 2012
Size: 40.7mm wingspan.
Came to black light/MV trap. (live oak/chaparral habitat). Looks like another
. I'm guessing it is
Euxoa septentrionalis
which (according to
http://pnwmoths.biol.wwu.edu/browse/family-noctuidae/subfamily-noctuinae/tribe-noctuini/euxoa/euxoa-septentrionalis/index.html
) has round orbicular spot with a central ocellus and flies late summer to fall; rather than the similar
Euxoa tessellata
which (according to
http://pnwmoths.biol.wwu.edu/browse/family-noctuidae/subfamily-noctuinae/tribe-noctuini/euxoa/euxoa-tessellata/index.html
) has asymmetrical pale gray-filled orbicular spot and flies in summer.
