Heliothelopsis unicoloralis Pima Canyon, Santa Catalina Mts., Pima County, Arizona, USA August 14, 2006 Size: 4-6mm
These small moths were active diurnally. Started to photograph the flower with one moth on it and a second appeared before snapping the pic. Very small guys. My best guess is about 4-6 mm. They are working on a Hirissantia crispa flower (Malvaceae). Anybody have an idea what they are?
