Dogbane Saucrobotys Moth
Saucrobotys futilalis

Observation date: August 06, 2016
Submitted by: carlakish
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: On Dogbane. Found many caterpillars, individually and in groups, in thin webbing on Dogbane leaves. I found a match using BugGuide.net. However, the range they provide does not include Arizona. A check of your species list for Arizona does not include the Dogbane Saucrobotys Moth. I will try to rear some for verification.
