Fascinating attempted breeding interaction between a Pearl Crescent and Vesta Crescent, which lasted several minutes through much chasing and resting. Pearl Crescent shown in previous photo/observation. I wonder if they can hybridize.

The black squirrels in Marysville were apparently introduced accidentally by a circus that came through town in the past.

The unknown sedge which is this species host must occur in a few Oklahoma bogs.

Individual about 2cm long, photographed on the plant Lomatium phoeniculaceum (gone to seed) in shortgrass prairie. The winds were at least 20mph which is not unusual in this area but high enough that insects might have a hard time flying, so this plant may have been convenient rather than a specially chosen spot.

What a wonderful evening at Gus Engeling WMA after a landowner workshop earlier. I put up some black-lights around this bog and sandy area. Tremendous biodiversity here! *still working on ID's

A fairly distinctive species in an otherwise very difficult genus. Note the whitish ground color and minimal expression of spots and bands.

One of the few truly green Noctuids. I'd previously encountered the species not far away in the Rita Blanca NG in the northwest corner of the Texas Panhandle.

Well this gaudy Tortricid turns out to be pretty interesting. It is a member of a diverse set of moths which have converged in a mimicry complex with the overall pattern of orange wings with bold black-and-white marginal banding. Other members of this complex are in this genus, related genera, and even in other moth families. Franziska Bauer created an array of images of some members of this mimicry complex (images from BOLD) and uploaded it to Flickr:

Some of these, particularly the Tortricids, can be confusingly similar, with minor variations on this color scheme, wing shape, venation, etc.
This species was originally described from Guatemala by Walsingham in Biologia Centrali-Americana, Heterocera, Vol. 4, p. 214, 270, Tab. 8, fig. 8 (1909-1915). I finally tracked down a relatively recent revision of this genus by Obraztsov (Proc. US Nat. Mus. 119, No. 3543, 1966). His key allows me to fairly readily key this out to Idolatteria simulatrix, but even at the time of his revision, the species was only known from the original holotype from Guatemala. I subsequently found another example from nearby in El Salvador on iNat which appears to match this species:

Here's a link to the Obraztsov paper:

The overall dark coloration, simple crosslines on the FW, pink base of the HW, and dusky bands on the HW point to this species. The genus is very diverse in the Neotropics.

We came across this mated pair of Eois moths during a night prowl at CCFC. The difference in coloration of the male and female (which is which?) is pretty striking. I'm uploading two images, each with one of the moths "on top".

Presumably the species of this genus present in Guatemala. Other similar species occur further south.
