01Narrative

Apogeshna stenialis, the checkered apogeshna moth, is a moth in the family Crambidae. It is found from Maine to Florida, west to Alabama, Illinois and Ohio. It is also found in Mexico (Veracruz, Tabasco), Panama, Honduras, and the Dominican Republic. The wingspan is about 17 mm. The forewings are variably bright to pale yellow along the costa and brown along the inner margin and beyond the postmedial line. There is a hollow oval spot in median area, and another descending from the antemedial line. The hindwings are brown with large dark-edged pale patches. The fringes are dark with scattered pale patches. Adults are on wing in spring and summer.

05DNA & barcoding53 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 Apogeshna stenialis has left across the world's sequence archives.

Variant network

Each circle is a barcode variant; bigger = more specimens, colour = region. Lines join the most similar variants and the tick marks count the mutations between them — a tight cluster is one “dialect”, a long line a more divergent lineage. Click a circle to list its actual specimens.

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.
