Smeared Dagger Moth
Acronicta oblinita

Observation date: June 30, 2022
Submitted by: dawittrock2231
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: Near a floodlight on my deck. This is sort of far north for this moth, but I think it is too heavily streaked to be A. oblinata. This was assigned to A. lithospila on BG.
Status: Resident
Verified by: Ilona L.
Verified date: July 02, 2022
Coordinator notes: I think this is Acronicta oblinita based on the outline of the moth and the terminal line which consists of dots. I added a comment to the moth on BugGuide explaining this. We'll see what happens.
