Crambid cf. Neohelvibotys - frame 1500
Pena Blanca Recreation Area, Santa Cruz County, Arizona, USA
July 27, 2013
Flushed from the grass during the day. Perhaps resembles Alice's shot:



tentatively identified as Neohelvibotys arizonensis - Hodges#4978, though this is much paler. Is this likely the same moth, or a close relative? Thanks for any ideas--I know this is a very difficult group.
