Ceanothus silkmoth
Hyalophora euryalus

Observation date: May 24, 2014
Submitted by: lunabluefarm
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: None.
Status: Resident
Verified by: Robert Martin
Verified date: May 26, 2014
Coordinator notes: This species can be recognized by the pinkish maroon color that prevails beyond the postmedian white band. In H. columbia gloveri, this outer third of the wing has very little or no trace of maroon. Although variable, the discal spots are usually greatly elongated towards the outer edge of the wing, and this trait distinguishes H. euryalus from the other species of Hyalophora.
