Hugh,
Can you explain why you think it is Phosphila turbulenta and not Fishia
illocata? Couldn't it also be Platypolia mactata? To me these all look pretty
similar, though I feel that F. illocata and P. mactata are better matches.
Thanks,
Kyle

Kyle,
This is definitely NOT Fishia illocata. Why isn't it Phosphila turbulenta?
