Observation date: July 04, 2020
Submitted by: Susan McSwain
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: Found at http://mothphotographersgroup.msstate.edu/species.php?hodges=5079 This moth is common in my area, and although it resembles Udea profundalis http://mothphotographersgroup.msstate.edu/species.php?hodges=5080, that species is only found in states on the west coast. I have submitted other photos in of this moth in the past, but maybe the current photos are better quality.
