Lobed Plume Moth Oddly enough, I haven't seen one sighted in California. They're usually east coast moths or in Canada. I tried to compare it with the Gumweed Plume Moth (Dejongia californicus), but it looks a lot more like Dejongia lobidactylus. Hitchhiker, or has it expanded its range.

    Nice find! I'm going to ID it as Dejongia californicus for now because of the location and time of year. Posted one year ago
