Naw, it just needs a bigger label. A grocery receipt or paper towel would do.

Somebody told me about them a week or two ago, but verbally during the workday, so of course my sieve-brain forgot. Write me on a Sunday afternoon, and I'll attend to it :-) I'm curious how long the population will last.

Thanks! I netted one, spread, labeled, databased it. I've heard they were seen here years ago, but none ended up in the collection. Maybe came on plants from a nursery.

This is the site... really rather unburned sandhill next to lots of rosemary and what I can only describe as lichen undergrowth.

Yep, I get it there too!

The "cataclystiform" wing pattern in moths mimics jumping spiders, with angular lines like legs and dark eyespots. It evolved many times, but this unusually has it on the ventral side. I wonder how it displays its wings in life? (Furcivena rhodoneurialis, Cameroon, on loan from the Carnegie MNH.)
