The length of the forewings is 7–8 mm for males and 7–9 mm for females. The wings are orange brown, with dark, purplish-brown shading in most of the outer third in females. Adults are on wing from April to September.[3]
Etymology
The species is named for H. D. (Dave) Baggett of Palatka, Florida, who first brought it to the attention of the author and who collected about half of the specimens seen at the time.
gollark: Apioakouohazards, which are... really good listeners?
gollark: It would be so cool.
gollark: You should definitely implement an entirely binding legal system within your game.
gollark: Ideas: Apiochorahazards, which make countries for favourable legal arrangements, and apionomohazards, which manipulate the law to make attacking them illegal and such.
gollark: Possibly doable.
