E hënë Moth

Grinter Stiria dyari

Përsëri në hënë Moth! This beautiful insect is Stiria dyari (Noctuidae) mbledhur në një jashtë udhëtim shkurt të Cataviña, Baja California Meksikë. Unë besoj se bimët nikoqire janë ende të panjohura, but all of the moths in the genus Stiria have these brilliant yellow forewings that help camouflage them on the stem of a yellow flowered plant. Ka 7 currently described species most of which are found in the SW United States and northern Mexico, por Stiria rugifrons makes it into the great plains. All of the species have poorly defined and often overlapping ranges, not to mention the genitalia can highly variable. It’s very likely the final word has not been written about these beautiful noctuids quite yet.
