Subject: [ncsc-moths] Mystery Micro
So, after many months of not actively looking for moths . . . . I left
the blacklight on last night both at home and at work! Nothing
spectacular but it was great to see some old familiar friends this
morning. I don't think I'll ever get tired of seeing Delicate Cycnias
or Tulip-tree Beauties! I did have one little guy who I can't
identify though. I've looked all afternoon--at MPG, BugGuide,
MicroLeps, Ken's photos, Merrill's photos, and Mark Dreiling's photos
and I still am not sure. I only got one very bad shot as it flew off
right after I snapped it. My gut tells me that it should be somewhere
in the Leaf Miners (Gracillarioidea). Parectopa robiniella - Locust
Digitate Leafminer - Hodges#0657 seems closest with the striped legs
but that just isn't it (I think). Any thoughts would be greatly
appreciated!
