Cisseps fulvicollis

Observation date: September 28, 2019
Submitted by: elkeno
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: Had suggested Grapeleaf Skeletonizer but checking guide books, this moth seemd closer to 20mm, so changing to Yellow-collared Scape Moth. I thought it was a type of firefly at first glance.
