MothsDo you know what species this is?
Hey there,
I found your website as I was trying to identify this clearwing moth. I know that it’s in Family Sesiidae, but I was unable to find the genus and species for it. Do you know what it is? I live in Grand Bay, Alabama, just west of Mobile. Thank you for your help.
Jenny
Hi Jenny,
Your moth is a Scarlet Bodied Wasp Moth, Cosmosoma myrodora, and it is in the family Arctiidae, not Sesiidae.
