Sorry about that! I must have had another species in my clipboard. The common name was a guess for me. Most of the moths in this genus in NA are referred to by the genus name, with the specific name translated to English. I translated adulatrix, which turned out to be part of the root word "to flatter".
Cisseps fulvicollis would have a blue abdomen, and sometimes has a yellowish costa.
A much fresher individual. Wonderful!
Hi Ingrid, do you have any other photos of this moth? I have some ideas but it is hard to tell without a photo of the wings. Nice find!
I love Douglas Mountain. In terms of moths saw the larva of Parallelia bistriaris and an adult Pangrapta declares while there. I was there in early August, so some beautiful mushrooms were everywhere. What a wonderful place.
Gorgeous. According to the site above, one of the few species of Eutelia in Europe.
This is the best match I could find. Leptostales ferruminaria appears to be quite variable.
The ones I see in NY are a little darker but I think this falls within the range of variability for this species.
I'm fairly certain of the ID, but another similar species is Canopies reticulatana.
A much lighter individual but I'd still call this Hypena deceptalis.
