Obscure Underwing
Catocala obscura

Observation date: September 13, 2022
Submitted by: jwileyrains
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: Sitting the grass on a cool morning. September is when most Catocala sp. are flying in Connecticut. No photo of the hindwing, but when it flew I saw that it was solid black with a white fringe. I'm reasonably sure of the ID.
