White-spotted
Sable Moth
Anania funebris
This striking moth, that looks like someone dropped
white paint on its wings, was flitting around in the
Jordanelle wetlands
below the dam. It's always fun to find a pretty moth
because so many of them are drab. © Carol Davis, 7-3-2011
Adult moths of this species feed on pollen and the
larvae dine on the beautiful, copious Goldenrod that's known
for tormenting hay fever sufferers throughout Utah.
