Haploa lecontei is an obscure, harmless moth, usually found at the Cat Sanctuary in the last week of June and the first week of July. I like the symmetry of its coloring. It looks like some sort of diagram--of a paper airplane, perhaps?

Its "cousins," Haploa clymene, usually fly during the week after Haploa lecontei. Some years both species are very numerous; this year I saw fewer than a dozen lecontei and no clymene.
