01Narrative

Antaeotricha decorosella is a moth in the family Depressariidae. It was described by August Busck in 1908. It is found in North America, where it has been recorded from New Jersey, Indiana, North Carolina, Florida and Massachusetts.Antaeotricha Zeller, 1854 at Markku Savela's Lepidoptera and Some Other Life Forms.Moth Photographers Group The wingspan is 22–24 mm. The forewings are rich deer brown, with a strong silky lustre and with the entire costal edge narrowly light ochreous, at the end of the cell a barely perceptible darker brown spot. The hindwings are whitish fuscous.Proceedings of the Entomological Society of Washington 10 (1-2): 111 The larvae feed on Quercus ilicifolia and Quercus marilandica.

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 Antaeotricha decorosella has left across the world's sequence archives.

Where the DNA of Antaeotricha decorosella 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.
