Parthenice Tiger Moth
Grammia parthenice

Observation date: August 03, 2021
Submitted by: dawittrock2231
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: Near a floodlight on my deck. I decided on parthenice based on the thinness of many of the lines, but could be virgo, I have never seen either before.
Status: Resident
Verified by: Ilona L.
Verified date: August 09, 2021
Coordinator notes: Could be either A. virgo or A. parthenice although in the case of BAMONA the genus is still listed as Grammia. Les Ferge might be able to ID the moth if you wanted to contact him. I'll place in G. parthenice for now although that is a tentative ID. You might be able to get a more definite answer on BG although not necessarily.
