MothsMoth photo
Can you tell me what this is? Found on the Oregon coast. Thanks!
You have a photo of California Ctenucha, Ctenucha multifaria. According to Holland: “This species, which is closely allied to [Ctenucha rubroscapus], may be dicriminated by the fact that the fore wings are lighter in color, the collar is black, not orange spotted with black, as in C. rubroscapus, and the costal margin of the primaries is narrowly edged with white.”
