Richly colored gold and purplish-red. I believe this could be Hyalorista taeniolalis but just seems to be so far from other reports of this species, in both MPG or here on iNat. Just does not seem to be looking right for Pyrausta species such as P. socialis or P. fodinalis. Appreciate any feedback from those more familiar with Hyalorista taeniolalis.
