MothsArachnis sp?
Found this moth in Richfield Utah, couldn’t get a great picture of it but it looks similar to several of the Arachnis sp pics I’ve seen. Any ideas? Thanks,
Alan
Hi Alan,
Arachnis was a good guess. The Great Tiger Moth, Arctia caja, is in the same tribe as the genus Arachnis. The tribe Arctiini, is a subdivision of the family, Arctiidae, subfamily Arctiinae, though it seems illogical that a tribe would be a division of a family as opposed to the other way around.
