This Moth had one of its legs "stuck" in a crease of a long narrow green leaf on the roadside; eventually it got loose and flew away, but lost the one leg in the process. Along Mormon-Emigrant Road, approximately midway between Leek Spring Ecological Area and Silver Fork Road (North to Kyburz and Highway 50). Elevation about 7,250 feet. Within area of 2021 Caldor Fire impact.

Exciting! Instantly recognizable as the new genus & species first photographed by @chloe_and_trevor & identified as that by C.R. Bartlett: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/107311379

Some notes:
1) Collected four specimens, two in 90% alcohol. Will deposit them in a collection (e.g., UC Riverside or could send them to UDelaware if there is interest)
2) Likely host-specific on Bebbia juncea. I consistently found them on Bebbia, but not on any other plants in the area. Should make collecting these much easier...
3) The darkness of the wing band seems quite variable
4) Not sure the status of this, e.g., if a description effort is already underway. But would be great to get this described (and perhaps also to be involved)

I have to admit, the Mountain Beaver is an animal I have wanted to see for many years, but chalked it up there with Spotted Bat and Pygmy Sperm Whale in that I know they are out there, but the odds of me finding one are......

So, I was more than delighted to have been able to spend a good 15 minutes watching this one at close range as it repeatedly carried mouthfuls of dry grass and green conifer twigs to its burrow under the snow.
