Submitted by: Sue D. L. Smith
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: This little moth was flitting all over some Comfrey in our front bed here in El Reno, OK. It periodically landed on the catnip also in the same bed. It crawled on the fence beside the bed. It was about 6:00 in the evening. The day was not rainy. I am not sure if it was sunny or overcast, however.
