Alypia wittfeldii
Wittfeld's Forester
Alypia wittfeldii, commonly known as Wittfeld's Forester, is a small noctuid moth endemic to the southeastern Atlantic coastal plain of the United States. First described by Henry Edwards in 1883, this species is notable for its restricted distribution, occurring almost exclusively in Florida (excluding the western panhandle), coastal Georgia, and South Carolina. Adults are active during the winter and early spring months, with forewings measuring 13–14 mm in length. The species belongs to the forester moths (genus Alypia), a group characterized by bright coloration and diurnal activity patterns that contrast with the typically nocturnal habits of most noctuids.
Carmenta subaerea
Carmenta subaerea is a clearwing moth in the family Sesiidae, described by Henry Edwards in 1883. The species is documented from Arizona, USA, and belongs to a genus of seed-feeding clearwing moths distributed primarily in the Americas. Like other sesiids, it likely exhibits wasp-mimicry through transparent wings and a slender body form.
