Dingy Cutworm Moth
Feltia jaculifera

Observation date: August 20, 2021
Submitted by: dawittrock2231
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: Near a floodlight on my deck. Don't know what happened when I was shooting this moth, both pictures turned out poor. I think there is enough detail to show key markings.
Status: Resident
Verified by: Ilona L.
Verified date: August 24, 2021
Coordinator notes: I usually take quite a few photos of each moth just to make sure I get a good photo. I've been known to take over 20 photos or more if the moth is unusual since it really doesn't matter when taking digital photos.
