Clemens' Grass Tubeworm Moth - Acrolophus popeanella

Male moth that was about 11 mm long. It had very fuzzy palps that reached backwards towards its abdomen. It was mostly tan/brown and was marked with dark brown, purple, and pink. It had a large median spot near inner margin of forewings.

Attracted to a moth light in a rural area.

  Thanks, it was in great shape! I love these moths - this one particularly looked like a goat in a 1970's fur coat. Posted 7 years ago
