Submitted by: tlcisfree
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: It was on my inner screen door, this is how I was able to shut the lights off and catch a picture of it. It's been a nice cool spring. I have plenty of manzanita so I'm fairly certain that's the host plant.

Coordinator notes: Oh my, such gorgeous bold white markings on this specimen! If you ever find one of these beauties again with the same patterning, you should try and raise the offspring! :-) -Ishaan
