Field Notes

Description:

Wingspan about 50mm. Body uniform brown. Wings brown with gold markings forming a medial band across the forewing.

Habitat:

Urban garden.

Notes:

This one was a bit faded, but I couldn't pass up a chance to get a photo of the top of the wings. Antennal club on this specimen seems hooked much more than usual.
