Philtraea
utahensis
Family Geometridae
I spotted something white on a bush and wasn't sure for a minute whether it was an insect or not. It
was tucked inside a bush so I had to do some finagling to get the photos. What a treat to find such
a beautiful little moth in Snow Canyon State Park in southwestern Utah. © Carol Davis, 6-11-2011
Not much is known about these moths but they are very pretty. Most of the species
have been found in Southeastern Utah and, according to Bugguide.net and other
sources, they are quite rare in Colorado. © Carol Davis, 6-11-2011
