Submitted by: lantana
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: by light
Status: Resident
Verified by: jwileyrains
Verified date: July 19, 2021
Coordinator notes: I agree with the previous reviewer; the presence of spots on the FW, however faint, indicates that this is A. senatoria and not A. virginiensis. The reverse would not be true. MPG is helpful - see the page for A. senatoria: http://mothphotographersgroup.msstate.edu/species.php?hodges=7719 and then take a look at virginiensis: http://mothphotographersgroup.msstate.edu/species.php?hodges=7723 JRains
