I have read that Forficula is a species complex, so it's not auricularia

Spotted another Bagworm here tonight so this time I got the usual closeup shot of the antennae along with a photo of the microscope camera used to photograph the closeup. 1st pic is the usual overal photo of the moth taken with a Canon SX530HS. 2nd pic is the closeup of the moth's antennae taken with a microscope camera. 3rd pic is the rig used to take the 2nd pic.

Researching Pyralids on MPG, ran across this species which matched a moth I had filed as an unidentified noctuid!

The star of the show last night! A moth I never expected to see. 2nd Texas record? Knudson & Bordelon recorded one in 2007.

About 100 on this 1 rose bush. I removed 50, used them for show and tell, and relocated to a place where they won't sting anyone. I have 2 more bushes, and 2 more trees to remove them from.

This specimen was DNA barcoded (COI gene) and determined to be M. vibicalis. Here is the phylogeny that includes this specimen: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1GpQTYxZlpPmKx19uLNlzXOgTrdX-nbZc4Y5K7nMsSyA/edit?usp=sharing
The straight sub-terminal line (and a clear or diffuse AM band) is diagnostic of M. vibicalis; whereas a curved line (with notch or tooth where line ends at the midline) is diagnostic of M. ophionalis: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/901568

Had a wonderful time being socially distant with a few folks at the midcoast bioblitz looking for nocturnal critters at the blacklight sheets. Quite a few things showed up! :)
