APB_Acontia dacia

[Wagner, David]

Acontia dacia was formerly regarded to be an occasional pest of cotton across the southern US.



Another, once hyper-abundant, noctuid that fed on cotton, Alabama argillacea, appears to have been extirpated from the United States.  I am wondering if the same fate may await (or have already befallen) other cotton associates.



Is anyone still seeing this species?



Thanks.
