Subject: [ncsc-moths] Coleotechnites troubles
Hey everyone,
I am going through some pics I took last month and have run into a wall with a
Coleotechnites I had. For about a week this species was seen every night
underneath my sheet, and it was something I had never seen before. I caught one
of them, but it doesn't quite look like the individual in the attached photos.
I believe that the photos show Coleotechnites canusella, 1797, a species I am
not sure has been recorded in NC. But C. ducharmei, 1806, is also pretty
similar, though I am not sure where it has been recorded, just somewhere in the
southeast. Though I do not see the white line towards the back of the wings,
which would appear to signify 1797, I feel that it is indeed 1797 because the
pattern on the head matches that on the individual I saw. Has anyone ever seen
this species before, or does anyone have any ideas? 1797 or 1806?
Thanks,
Kyle
