Coordinator notes: I had to do a little image searching online before I came across this moth. There has been a couple more recent records in KC area of Kansas, and I do see on this site it is recorded from Ottawa County. For you a good find though as it looks to probably be a new county for you. Thank you! JAMES STEEN
