What
Schinia binaObserver
zdufranDescription
This observation is specifically for the moth on the left in these photos. I observed this pair of moths mating on the head of Pyrrhopappus, which is the host plant for Schinia mitis and I assumed both moths were that species. However, upon closer inspection I believe the more vividly colored moth on the left is Schinia bina. These images are screen captures from a video I was taking. The wind was blowing pretty consistently and exposing the hindwings and ventral sides of the wings, which further helps identify this moth.
