Flightless moth

[jh]

Hi folks -

Had an interesting surprise this morning at the moth sheet.  Amongst the 100
or so Phigalia titeas and Phigalia strigaria, was a female, which I am
guessing, based on the rather robust size, is the flightless female of the
former.

She got rained on pretty hard last night and it must have been a hell of a
walk for the moth.  This is the first moth added to the Moths in a CT Yard
site in 2003 (finally!).
