Guides
Cosipara modulalis
Cosipara modulalis is a small crambid moth described by Eugene G. Munroe in 1972. It is known from a limited distribution in the southwestern United States, specifically Arizona and Colorado. The species has a wingspan of approximately 20 mm and appears to be active during mid-summer.
Eudonia alpina
Highland Grey
Eudonia alpina is a small moth in the family Crambidae, first described by Curtis in 1850. It has a wingspan of 20–25 mm and occurs across a broad Holarctic distribution spanning Europe, Asia, and North America. Adults are active in June and July in Europe. The species is commonly known as the Highland Grey.
Eudonia commortalis
Eudonia commortalis is a species of moth in the family Crambidae, first described by Harrison Gray Dyar Jr. in 1921. It is known from the Pacific coast of North America, ranging from Alaska southward through British Columbia, Washington, and California. Adults are active from spring through late summer, with flight records spanning April to September. The species belongs to the subfamily Scopariinae, a group of small moths commonly known as grass moths.
Eudonia echo
A small crambid moth found in western North America from British Columbia to California. Adults have a wingspan of approximately 15 mm and are active from August to October in California. The species was described by Harrison Gray Dyar Jr. in 1929 and includes two recognized subspecies.
Eudonia leucophthalma
A small crambid moth with a wingspan of approximately 14 mm, found in western North America from British Columbia and Alberta south to California. Adults are active from May through September and can be distinguished from the similar Eudonia echo by their smaller size and more olivaceous, denser wing shading. The species includes two recognized subspecies: the nominate form in British Columbia and E. l. petaluma in California.
Eudonia rectilinea
Eudonia rectilinea is a small crambid moth described by Zeller in 1874. It is native to western North America, with confirmed records from British Columbia to California and east to Montana. Adults are active from spring through late summer. The species is distinguished by its relatively straight forewing lines, as suggested by its specific epithet.
Eudonia spenceri
Eudonia spenceri is a small crambid moth described by Eugene G. Munroe in 1972. The species is distributed across western North America from California and Arizona northward to Montana and British Columbia. Adults have a forewing length of 8–9 mm and are active from April through September. The species belongs to the subfamily Scopariinae, a group of small moths often associated with moist or riparian habitats.
Eudonia strigalis
striped eudonia moth
Eudonia strigalis, known as the striped eudonia moth, is a small crambid moth described by Harrison Gray Dyar Jr. in 1906. It occurs across eastern North America from Nova Scotia to Florida. The species shows latitudinal variation in adult activity patterns, with year-round flight in the south and a restricted season in northern populations.
Scoparia basalis
Many-spotted Scoparia Moth
Scoparia basalis is a small moth in the family Crambidae, commonly known as the many-spotted scoparia moth. The species is characterized by its diminutive size, with a wingspan of approximately 13 mm. It is distributed across much of North America, with records from both the United States and Canada. The specific epithet 'basalis' refers to a basal feature, though the exact morphological reference is not detailed in available sources.
Scoparia normalis
Scoparia normalis is a small crambid moth described by Harrison Gray Dyar Jr. in 1904. It is known from a disjunct distribution across the western United States (Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, Utah) with an isolated eastern record from North Carolina. Adults are active during summer months, with flight records from July through September. The species has a wingspan of approximately 26 mm and exhibits distinctive gray forewings with complex black patterning.
