The Bent-line Carpet
Costaconvexa centrostrigaria

Observation date: April 26, 2021
Submitted by: Susan McSwain
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: I submitted this species some time ago to have it listed for Nelson County, VA but this specimen is special. It appears to be a gynandromorph, with each half of the insect a different color. The different colors are not due to the light in which it was photographed. I think this is pretty neat!!! Can you verify my assumption?
