      Do you know if Melese has a lot of variety in size? Because if this one is Melese sp....

      ...note that this moth is a few times smaller. Sorry that I suck at providing such basic info in the first place. I didn't really measure or take notes at the time. One way to tell though is the magnification of the cloth's texture.       Posted 6 years ago, modified 6 years ago

        Hmm, I don't know. I would assume that species in a genus would be similar in size, no? Posted 6 years ago

      That looks like a breakthrough clue! 17 species in the genus:
      http://v3.boldsystems.org/index.php/Taxbrowser_Taxonpage?taxid=64978

      I checked them and only two seem to match partly or fully, visually:
      - Himmacia inflammata
      - Himmacia textrina

      Distribution matches for both. Let's toss a coin? Seriously, gut feeling for me is that inflammata seems more likely.       Posted 6 years ago
