01Narrative

Gnophaela latipennis, the wild forget-me-not moth, is a moth of the family Erebidae. It was described by Jean Baptiste Boisduval in 1852. It is found in the US states of Oregon and California. The habitat consists of open mixed hardwood-conifer forests, oak woodlands and open riparian areas near creeks, as well as in open ponderosa pine forests and mountain meadows.Pacific Northwest Moths The length of the forewings is 26 mm. The forewings and hindwings are black with few large translucent greenish-yellow spots. Adults are on wing from late May to early August.BugGuide The larvae feed on Cynoglossum grande, Cynoglossum occidentale, Hackelia californica, Mertensia and Myosotis species. They are black with lateral yellow patches and they are densely covered with hair tufts. The species overwinters as a second-instar larva.

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 Gnophaela latipennis has left across the world's sequence archives.

09Environmental DNA2 detections

Where the DNA of Gnophaela latipennis 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.
