This is a great image. These moths are local and are very rare in museums. We are looking for specimens to conduct DNA analysis,if you are ever interested in collecting some adults.

Specimens
If I see one again, I'd be happy to help. So far I think I have only seen them twice and only in May but I will certainly keep my eyes open for them.
