Dear NC Moth'ers:
When I sent images of the strange-looking "Heterocampa obliqua" to Dave
Beadle in Toronto, he managed to find the image below on MPG. The
identification was seconded by Bo Sullivan who confirms that the moth I
found yesterday morning, images of which I shared with the listserv, is an
undescribed species thought to be in the genus Schizura. While not new for
the state he did say that to date it has only been found on the coastal
plain. Pretty cool and a really lovely moth (in one of my favorite groups).
I'll be anxious to hear what Steve Hall's response is to Lori's
black-and-buff moth.
Good mothing.
