  Sighting 1320823

Observation date: August 11, 2021
Date notes: 10pm is approximate
Submitted by: Bob Jacobson
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: Dolichomia olinalis was suggested by the Seek app. However, its appearance is similar to Hypsopygia intermedialis (my suggestion, based on a Seek ID, in sighting record 1320816) as well as H. costalis. Tips on differentiating these species would be appreciated!

Coordinator notes: This is one of those moths with a larger number of former names. I usually will check photos of moths on Bugguide since they have large numbers of photos to use as a comparison. I also check the moths on MPG. Will have to check out Seek since I just heard about this site today.
