Harnessed Tiger Moth
Apantesis phalerata
38.953, -83.7607
Field Notes
Description:
A smaller, darker banded tiger moth. Cream bands along the veins. Although not photographed, it had orange underwings with black patterns along the lower margin.
This may be a female, as the bands are very bold and thick.
Habitat:
Spotted on a sheet hanging on my porch with black lights and halogens shining on it at night to attract moths. We live in a gated lake community surrounded by rural agricultural land, and some wooded areas.
National Moth Week 2017.
Notes:
Apologies, no underwing photo.
