Field Notes

Description:

Looks similar to Lycomorpha pholus, but unsure because it says range is south to North Carolina and coloration is not 100%. Smallish moth maybe a bit bigger than 1/4 in long. Black body, antennae and legs.

Habitat:

west central ga

Notes:

Thanks for the ID Jamie Grant!
