The specific identity of this dark-bodied Diaphania is still a point of discussion among several of us in Texas. Time will tell. First for my yard.

This batch of October records is dedicated to the memory of Charles Bordelon (1958 - 2016) whose contributions to Texas lepidoptery are immeasurable.

I’ve already encountered a half dozen new species at my porchlight/blacklights in October plus a couple of other very infrequent speces. I have a large number of other October uploads, but I wanted to get this set of new and uncommon species up first—before we get swamped with Big Thicket stuff. The rest will come later.
