Second night of mothing in 2023. Highlight was 3 Braconids attracted to UV light.
Length around 8 - 10 mm. On White Tack-Stem, Calycoseris wrightii. @cehmoth: Check? To me (amateur) this resembles Schinia regina except dark hindwing. Thanks!
I apparently caught this image just as the moth was about to lift off, with wings spread.
on Pyrrhopappus.@cehmoth a second individual
@cehmoth I believe this is the same species you helped me ID last year at this time. On Pyrrhopappus .
