Coordinator notes: This is one of the three hackberry moths in AZ, but I only do moths....Kelly. Consult Butterflies of Southern Arizona for which one. Kelly... It has the two bars on the center front portion of the forewings which is attributed to A. leilia. Wonder if these hibernate in southern Arizona since the record is for late March?
