Observation date: June 07, 2016
Submitted by: Betsy Higgins
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: Not sure about this one because of the lack of white in the subterminal area.
Status: Resident
Verified by: jwileyrains
Verified date: February 05, 2021
Coordinator notes: It took some time to confirm but I agree with the submitter that this is P. raracana (now Eucosma raracana), despite the near-total lack of subterminal white coloration. None of the other Eucosa species are a good fit. See http://mothphotographersgroup.msstate.edu/species.php?hodges=2928. JR
