Image of Red-crossed Button Slug

Description:

Either 238700 – 4653 – Red-crossed Button Slug Moth – Tortricidia pallida, or 238750 – 4654 – Abbreviated Button Slug Moth – Tortricidia flexuosa. BugGuide cites Wagner saying they can't be told apart, but continues to place pale specimens in T. pallida & well-marked in T. flexuosa. 12.1 mm long, head to baseline. Must have hit the habitat & flight season right for slug moths (family Limacodidae), because I went from never having seen a single species to seeing 7or 8 in 1 night.
