Observation date: September 09, 2018
Submitted by: A_baldini
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: Time: 3:09 p.m. Weather: Warm, fairly calm, and mostly cloudy (it rained at one point). Habitat: Very dry upland prairie. Notes: This moth was nectaring on a rabbitbrush at the very end of the Well Gulch Trail (near a small parking lot). It looks like it might be related to the Corn Earworm Moth, though I don't have an identification suggestion.
