quite extensive, and I am having trouble envisioning the moth conspiracy which is plaguing you.

Is this AI?
Are you from California or Oregon?
Do you smoke or weld?

Re: Checkerspot I.D.?

Thanks for the quick reply... I think you are correct... looks like a good match. I sent the same photos to another fellow who is writing a new book on SK butterflies; the last SK butterfly book was published in 1976 & is really outdated, & he came to the same conclusion. Checkerspots are extremely variable, even within a local population, & this one just has really enhanced white ventral markings. I think there are something like 24 named ssp. of E. anicia alone! I have a good series of these & this one female just stood out from all of the more "normal" looking females (like the one you showed). Thanks again!

The airport in the US. I'm flying back from Vietnam to California. I live in the United States. "They" is the custom officials at the airport. I have an email from the agent that told me this info. So I have plenty of evidence of what they said. I did read the laws. I just decided to actually talk to someone about it.Chuck wrote: ↑Tue Apr 23, 2024 10:59 pmWhich airport?

When your at the airport. If you have to go to customs. The person I talked to with USFW said that in most cases. They will just ask if they are dead or alive. This is a topic they deal with all the time, that's what they said to me.
Anything USFWS tells you is worthless. Get it in writing, and identified as to who wrote it. USFWS personnel once told me an import was OK, but apparently it wasn't, and the only thing that saved me was that I had kept copious notes- names, dates, times and exact words.
GO READ THE LAWS. This is so stupid we always go round-and-round here with "somebody said."
The other question is Vietnam wildlife export laws.

Clothes moths infestation — Tineola Bisselliella and Monopis Crocicapitella
by MonaLisa » Wed Apr 24, 2024 2:11 am
An entomologist saw my moth trap in September 2023 and confirmed I have both Tineola Bisselliella and Monopis Crocicapitella.
To give you the quickest overview possible I’ve truly tried everything to get rid of them.
Here’s some high-level background:
Here’s a deeper dive on almost everything I’ve tried to get rid of the moths over the past year and a half:
What I’d like to try now:
If anyone has any ideas I'm all ears. And I’d also really appreciate any resources or research you could send my way that might help point me in the right direction.
Many thanks!

Yep, they look fresh hatch. Not strays....
Don't know of anyone else who has encountered the species here in Illinois so, those may be important examples. I suppose if I ever get to the Natural History survey in Champaign I will look to see if there are any examples there.

Or try reaching out to Norbert Kondla who is a local collector. You can find his info on inaturalist, he post a lot of specimens.
