Coordinator notes: Interesting looking moth. On inaturalist.org the species has been recorded in Kansas. Although, really nice to see it occurs much farther west for our state. Many moths are overlooked compared to butterflies so I'm not surprised this species could be found farther west. Thanks, JAMES STEEN
