01Narrative

Annaphila decia, also called the orange flash, is a species of moth in the family Noctuidae (the owlet moths). It is found in North America. Its wingspan is 18-21 mm. The fore wing is gray and black with a band of mottled white, and the hind wing is orange with black markings. It looks similar to Annaphila depicta. The larvae of A. decia feed on miner's lettuce. The MONA or Hodges number for Annaphila decia is 9868.

05DNA & barcoding6 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 Annaphila decia has left across the world's sequence archives.

09Environmental DNA1 detections

Where the DNA of Annaphila decia 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 strong is each trace?

DNA read depthRead counts were not reported for this species — the map shows presence only, not how strong each trace was.

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.
