@btk. @swhitebread. Thoughts? M. capella is the best match that I could come up with. Oak woodland/acidic sedge marsh/stream interface.

Observed and released from a UV bucket trap (live trap) in a restored, fire-maintained sandplain barrens/oak woodland natural community. Host plant is present, but in small quantities.

Provisional ID based on @swhitebread's suggestion for a seemingly similar specimen observed the previous night nearby in the same valley and similar habitat (that specimen seen here: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/212871964)

Special Concern in MA. Observed in a large Aurolaria patch that emerged from a long-dormant seed bank following a 2014 fire-influenced natural community restoration. Nearest known Pyrrhia and Aureolaria populations are ~5 miles away (Aureolaria occurrences are very well-documented in the greater Quabbin area). Aureolaria is extremely fragrant, and likely attracted the Pyrrhia even at this distance. Pyrrhia's pioneering ability into this re-established Aureolaria occurrence shows well how the meta-population concept works on large-scale fire-influenced landscapes (individual small habitat patches may wax and wane in their abilities to support specialized species, but the greater landscape is always supporting adequate representations of suitable habitat for mobile species to exploit). @btk, @danjwilder, @ginny-d, @lynnharper, @wernerehl, @purplecort.

Not sure, but algorithm suggested angusii, which superficially looks better than other Datana species to me. @btk. Hickory at site.

Obviously very worn: suggested by the algorithm. Observed at this site last year as well: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/124727380. @btk

@btk. @adamkohl. @lynnharper. Looks like the 4th MA record since 1950, with none prior (MA Moths).
