Morning @donhe, I know this sighting was from some time ago, but are you aware of any name change? When I try to look for photos of Choreutis emplecta on iNaturalist it keeps saying Invalid Taxon… there is a remarkably similar-looking one called Choreutis periploca on iNat, but then The Butterfly House has both listed as active taxon so now I’m befuddled😩

I have recorded the species at my place. The geraniums were planted in 1959 at the back door, still going strong.
