Straight-lined Dodia

Dodia verticalis

Habitat 2

Dry rocky tundra slopes in mid- to late June.

Distribution 2

Yukon: British Mountains and Richardson Mountains at Dempster Highway.
North America: Endemic to Yukon.

Distinguishing Features 2

Dodia are moderately small tiger moths with grey, translucent wings. An almost complete lack of markings make the three Yukon species difficult to tell apart. It is best to assume that any Dodia species that is found may be one of the two rare species, and to photograph or collect it so that an expert can complete the identification. The habitat and the translucent wings will separate Dodia species from most other greyish moths in Yukon.
