Field Notes

Description:

Pale brown moth with wavy lines, 8 mm long, that always looks greasy because of the reflections from it's scales. On July 12th 2013, a male and a female were found mating. It is wonderful to find them together. The male is a little smaller and more pale, with less defined markings. In the 3rd picture, the female is on the top, in the 4th picture, the male is on the top.

Habitat:

Came to an ultraviolet light in the garden, San Cristobal de Las Casas, 2,200 meters.
