Mothing is Hard

This is a Bicolored Swallow (Sunira bicolorago) which is not displaying any bicoloration.


Fortunately, I have a number of mothing friends who I bug (pun!) with ID requests. And my friend Ann-Marie (go look at her website. GO!) was kind enough to ID this one.

She explained that this moth is one of the common moths seen around here in December, which is when I saw it. And that it appears very worn. Which is no doubt why it didn't look like anything like the image in the field guide.

At least that is what I tell myself.
