User's notes

Prey of Celaenia excavata spider also seen in sighting 4373081 with a later catch. The spider's abdomen is looking very shrivelled after she had produced her 5th egg sac the day before. This moth was not collected.

I can't be certain from the photo, but it's certainly consistent with the Diarsia intermixtaria that it caught around the same time and that I freed up to identify it.
