I took this picture of a funny looking moth.
It’s about 1 inch long.
I have never seen anything like it before
Would be interesting to know what it is.
I took the picture late in the evening.
I live in Long Beach, CA

Erythrina Borer

Dear Stefan,
The first time we received an image of an Erythrina Borer, Terastia meticulosalis, we were stumped until a reader supplied us with an identification.  According to BugGuide, it is a:  “Tropical species that ranges north to the US from Florida to California.”

Thank you very much, Daniel!!
Stefan
