Black Langessa
Langessa nomophilalis

Observation date: July 04, 2020
Submitted by: tirvine2020
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: Found near a light. Seems a bit north for this species's range, but the locality in which I found this moth was right off a saltwater canal and near a bunch of freshwater bogs with a lot of floral growth, right where L. nomophilalis would be found since its larvae feed on aquatic plants.
Status: Resident
