备份周一蛾! This beautiful insect is Stiria dyari (滑动) 二月行程以外的Cataviña收集, 墨西哥下加利福尼亚州. 我相信寄主植物都还是未知数, but all of the moths in the genus Stiria have these brilliant yellow forewings that help camouflage them on the stem of a yellow flowered plant. 有 7 currently described species most of which are found in the SW United States and northern Mexico, 但 Stiria rugifrons makes it into the great plains. All of the species have poorly defined and often overlapping ranges, not to mention the genitalia can highly variable. It’s very likely the final word has not been written about these beautiful noctuids quite yet.
Finally Monday Moth is back =) You have already great stuff out in February!
