white-striped black (Trichodezia albovittata) at Lake Meyer Park IA 653A8668
This delightful little white-striped black is less than an inch wide from from one wingtip to the other. Find these tiny moths flying during daylight hours in dark damp shady woodlands where jewelweed (touch-me-not), the host plant for their caterpillars, grows. I rarely get a view of these white-striped blacks from below and out in the sun like this one was last summer.
