Observation date: June 13, 2024
Submitted by: naj.pilla
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: Originally thought D. nonstrigella, but the white and black pattern of the legs, apparent lack of orange labial pappus (at least in the photo I took as it stopped for a brief second), and orange shoulders make me skeptical. However, I am not at all familiar with this species. I may be way off due to my initial bias.
Status: Resident

Coordinator notes: Hi Naj. I think you're correct. I thought it might be Dichomeris ochripalpella but changed my mind. JRains
