Status: Resident

Coordinator notes: There is a small chance this could be the Pink Prominent, but since H. venus is restricted to the southern Colorado area (whereas the Pink Prominent is much more common in the eastern U.S.), your suggested ID is almost certainly correct. Almost nothing is known about this moth, so if you ever see one again, I suggest you record as much detail about the observation as possible (time of day/year, behavior, weather, temperature, nearby vegetation (oak?), elevation, etc.) and submit it to BAMONA. The more information this database contains, the better!
