White-tipped Black Moth (Melanchroia chephise)

    This diminutive specimen was photographed in the back dunes area of Little Talbot Island State Park, Duval County, Florida on 12/22/2004. It was one of only two specimens observed. The species is not a particularly strong flyer and it was relatively easy to approach close enough to obtain a photograph.
