   Many Coryphista meadii <\/em> are difficult to distinguish from Triphosa haesitata<\/em>.  The colour variety shown below, however, is distinctive and not at all like Triphosa haesitata<\/em>.<\/p>\n

   Jeremy Gatten writes:  I had a special visitor at my light last night and it was still present this morning.  The larvae of this species apparently specialize on meadow-rue and columbine, so I am not sure how far this adult has travelled.  The closest columbines or meadow-rues would likely be garden varieties.    Jeremy Tatum comments:    A first for this site.  Wild columbines are common off Munn Road, a few miles away.  If this beautiful moth is at all like other plusiines, it is doubtless a strong long-distance flier.   Libby Avis writes that she had one at Port Alberni two nights ago.  Perhaps we have a miniature invasion – let’s all keep a look-out for this species.<\/p>\n
