Status

The most frequently encountered member of its genus, though "confirmation bias" may be a factor since some field guide show this species without similar species.

Description

Length around 5 mm. Viewed from above, note the broad brown "V" spanning both wings and semicircular subapical patches. Ruling out C. penetralis appears to require sub-millimeter precision measurements for probable species ID and DNA or female dissection for definitive species ID. Photos are generally best placed at Clepsis peritana/penetralis or Clepsis sp. See also similar Clepsis virescana.

Relationships

Larvae uses strawberries and other low plants.
