Field Notes

Description:

Moths in the Euteliidae family are characterized by an upcurved abdomen with a cryptic wing shape and markings.

Notes:

Lifer! Unfortunately my first spotting of a moth from the family Euteliidae isn't the greatest photo. I found this one resting on the edge of my school's window, and could not get to it as the screen was secured on the wall.
