Verification Notes: The moth can be quite well marked, some can be darker and some can be marked as per the two examples here. It shows that for this set of Momphas (divisella, bradleyi, jurassicella) the species can’t be identified from images with any confidence.
– Uncertain/Unknown – Insufficient Data
– difficult to identify – detailed examination required, often a Gen Det and/or specimen and quality photographs are required.
Confusion Species: Mompha divisella (Hourglass Mompha); Mompha bradleyi (Dusky Hourglass Mompha)

Changes in First and Last Recorded Activity Dates Over Time
This chart presents a time-series summary of recorded observations. It is based on available records at the time of analysis and will evolve as further data are added. The five-year moving average provides a smoothed representation of variation in recorded adult and immature activity over time, helping to illustrate longer-term trends in the earliest and latest recorded dates.
Annual record totals are shown for context; years with fewer records may provide a less complete representation of activity than years with higher recording intensity. Interpretation should consider that apparent trends may reflect both biological change and variation in recording effort.
Note: Clicking either the Adult Range.... or Immature Range... legends allows you to hide them, to show more discrete data.

Bedrock Geology ** indirectly affects moth distribution by influencing the type of habitat and food plants available in an area. In turn, this may affect the types of moths that can thrive, or where they can most likely be found.
