Confused Meganola
Meganola minuscula

Observation date: February 25, 2012
Submitted by: Josiah Gilbert
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: Resting on a screen door in the afternoon.
Status: Resident
Verified by: Josiah Gilbert
Verified date: August 31, 2013
Coordinator notes: This could also be Meganola fuscula, but I think (from having seen many of these moths) that M. fuscula is darker gray. This picture was accidentally taken (I took the picture) with a camera setting that gave the picture an unnatural blue cast.
