  1. AWESOME! I've had this one on my bucketlist for a while, but I haven't seen it yet! Posted 5 years ago
    1. I think this species is more common south of me. This is probably one of two reports from MN the other being a bit northwest of me.

      MPG doesn't have it for MN https://mothphotographersgroup.msstate.edu/species.php?hodges=5071#!# but BAMONA does #!#https://www.butterfliesandmoths.org/species/Pyrausta-acrionalis
