Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: Nectaring on aster in late morning; I've not seen it there since (a patch I check a few times a day), but pretty sure I saw another this morning in a corner of our turkey coop.
Found some superficially matches online or in Powell & Opler, but the accounts or photos don't mention the ruby red underwing of this creature. When perched, wings held against body

Coordinator notes: Another nice moth, thanks for submitting! Although the records on MPG for this species appear to be mostly from southern CA, there is a record of this species from Mono Lake on the CA moth specimen database.
