Hmmm... we've done little else but moths for months now and still I can't get over the variability of some families. Our last couple I have decided are impossible to ID without DNA ...I'm off to search for fungi... done with moffs for a while.

Maybe a worn out Chrysodeixis includens? Nice hat anyway.
