Phytometra orgiae

This moth made an appearance over 2 nights only and coincided with at least one P. ernestinana. I had thought Specimen 2 was worn and that Specimen 3 was an entirely different species because of its smaller size and lack of rose color. It turns out the small yellow version was the one dipicted for the species at MPG. I don't know if there are gender differences represented by the three or if its just gradient variation. I didn't notice until a week later, while taking down the boards, that they were the same moth.
