Clemens' Grass Tubeworm Moth
Acrolophus popeanella

Observation date: August 08, 2021
Submitted by: debnsync
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: Found this moth indoors, daytime, not moving as if asleep except when she barely shifted as I gently removed webs on body, during outdoor high heat conditions, poor air quality due to smoke from Ca. Wildfires. Live in the Piedmont of N.C. Rescued him/her from a small indoor house spider’s web, let her rest, photographed, released.
