Submitted by: Bob Jacobson
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: iNat suggestion. From BugGuide: "Many species of Eupithecia are similar looking and difficult to distinguish...". I wonder if these would be better left at the genus level. Or if E. miserulata is likely given my location.
Status: Resident

Coordinator notes: Eupithecia miserulata is the most recognizable of the species of Eupithecia so I don't think there is any problem with posting this to species level. With the other species, that's a different story. This is one of the comparison photos I find useful for determining E. miserulata. https://bugguide.net/node/view/498078
