Black-banded Carpet Moth
Antepirrhoe semiatrata

Observation date: July 12, 2020
Submitted by: RobertWeeden
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: WS 28 mm attracted to 100 W black light The trailing edge of the forewings, especially at the tip, looks quite different from the Antepirrhoe semiatrata identified at this location - just at the larger end of the size range for semiatrata. It is too small for faciata, but might be atrifaciata.
