Moved from Lycomorpha desertus.

Thank you for catching my error! All these need to be reviewed.

aren't these the same?
I'm not saying that the id on mine is correct - I've had my doubts. but they should probably be on the same page

Lycomorpha desertus
Moved from Butterflies and Moths.

Nice! Appears to be Lycomorpha desertus by the original description. I will do some further checking to be sure.

Are you sure this isn't the Z
Are you sure this isn't the Zygaenid Neoalbertia constans? The big feathery antennae immediately point to Zygaenidae for me.

L. desertus is a very cool species that I've never seen, nor has anyone else I've ever met.

Yes, exactly
that was my id, too - so I'm leaving mine at Neoalbertia and I am tempted to move the others
