01Narrative

Actrix nyssaecolella, the tupelo leaffolder moth, is a species of moth of the family Pyralidae described by Harrison Gray Dyar Jr. in 1904. It is found from Michigan and New York to Florida and west to Texas. The wingspan is 15–18 mm. They have light gray forewings with a dark gray band and a dark gray hourglass-shaped marking. The hindwings are brownish gray with a pale fringe. Adults are on wing from April to July. The larvae feed on Nyssa species.

05DNA & barcoding7 specimens

A DNA barcode is a short, standardised stretch of genes that works like a fingerprint — enough to tell one species from another. Below is the molecular trace Actrix nyssaecolella has left across the world's sequence archives.

Where the DNA of Actrix nyssaecolella was picked up in samples of water, soil or air — nobody saw the organism, only its DNA left behind. A trace is a clue that the species was near, not a confirmed sighting.

How to read this: each dot is one detection of this species' DNA in an environmental sample. The confidence meter weighs how many independent studies and places back up the signal — one detection in one study is a hint; many across several studies is solid. Records dated before 2008 (when eDNA methods began) are treated as likely mislabeled and left off the map.
