Unknown Eupithecia species
Eupithecia sp.

Observation date: May 01, 2022
Submitted by: robpendergast
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: Attracted to incandescent bulb. Insect/bird groups are the only reason I still have a Fb, they’ve proved to be very helpful for ID’s and providing other insightful information. I normally look at Wi Butterfly and Moth Enthusiasts, Wi Naturalists, Moths of the Eastern US & Canada, and Mothing and Moth-watching. I need to leverage them better for ID’s when I find the time to go through a number I don’t have ID’s for yet.

Coordinator notes: Note from L. Ferge - "Attempting to identify any Eupithecia species other than E. ravocostaliata from photos is hopeless. Specimens need to be collected and examined microscopically and sometimes dissected to assure correct identifications."
