Yellow Slant-Line - Tetracis crocallata This moth was weird. I first saw it resting under my light, but once it sensed me, it flew over and started walking all over me...in my hair, on my face, my shirt, etc. I couldn&#039;t get it off. I kept taking it off me and within seconds, it would land on me again! <br />
<br />
WS: ~40 mm. Yellow forewing with thick, brown PM line that slants to apex. Small, discal spots on all wings.<br />
