Oruza albocostataObserver
gcwarblerDescription
I'll have a complete offering of the moths I documented the previous evening in South Fork, but I thought I'd upload these odds and ends. These moths succumbed to the reflections in some standing water adjacent to the main creek. For some reason, my small point-and-hope camera has trouble focusing on an object floating on still water, so these are less than perfect images.
This example of Oruza was actually preceeded by a couple of the same species I had photographed the previous evening in my nearby campsite.

I had at least five of these big Lasiocampids on/around the sheet. I'm uploading each of them separately to show the variation.

Gabara stygialisObserver
gcwarblerDescription
Stumbled upon this ID almost by accident when I was looking through MPG for something else. This is apparently a regional endemic.

Showy Holomelina (Virbia ostenta)Observer
gcwarblerDescription
Fairly common on the sheet. There are probably 2 or 3 different individuals included in this observation. A few of the images show the diagnostic HW pattern with lots of black on the margin.
Mostly an AZ specialty:

What
Meganola dentataObserver
gcwarblerDescription
Based on the overall darkness of the FWs and the jagged PM line, I'm fairly confident that this is Meganola dentata. A careful examination suggests that the moth on the sheet and on the tree trunk, photographed about 40 minutes apart, are the same individual.

I documented a lot of mottle Boarmiini moths on the sheet. Most of them (but not all) were apparently this widespread species. I'm uploading a few different individuals separately.

The intricacy and color pattern of these flowers made this one of my favorite plants of the whole trip.
