Agonopterix dimorphella
Agonopterix dimorphella is a small moth in the family Depressariidae described by Clarke in 1941. It is found in the central and eastern United States, with records from South Carolina, Illinois, Nebraska, Kansas, and Arkansas. The species has a wingspan of 11–18 mm and distinctive reddish-ocherous forewings with fuscous shading and contrasting black and yellow discal spots. Larvae feed on Amorpha fruticosa, a North American shrub in the pea family.
Catocala consors
Consort Underwing
Catocala consors, the consort underwing, is a North American moth in the family Erebidae. It is one of approximately 250 species in the genus Catocala, commonly known as underwing moths due to their brightly colored hindwings concealed beneath cryptic forewings. The species occurs in the eastern and central United States, with adults active in spring and early summer. Larvae feed on specific host plants including Amorpha fructicosa and Carya species.
Rhopalomyia undescribed-species-on-amorpha
An undescribed species of gall midge in the genus Rhopalomyia that forms galls on Amorpha (false indigo), a genus of leguminous shrubs native to North America. As a member of Cecidomyiidae, this species likely exhibits the typical life cycle of gall midges with larval development occurring within plant tissue. The species remains formally undescribed in scientific literature, indicating it has been recognized by specialists but awaits formal taxonomic characterization. Its association with Amorpha suggests host-specificity, a common trait in Rhopalomyia species which often exhibit narrow host plant ranges.
