It is found in Western North America, from extreme south-western Alberta west, and south to New Mexico. The wingspan is 45 47 mm. Adults are on wing from June to July in one generation depending on the location. A moth is an insect closely related to the butterfly, both being of the order Lepidoptera. Moths form the majority of this order; there are thought to be 150,000 to 250,000 different species of moth (about ten times the number of species of butterfly), with thousands of species yet to be described. Most species of moth are nocturnal, but there are crepuscular and diurnal species.
