Agonopterix Oregonensis
''Agonopterix oregonensis'' is a moth in the family Depressariidae. It was described by John Frederick Gates Clarke in 1941. It is found in North America, where it has been recorded from California to southern British Columbia. The wingspan is 15–18 mm. The forewings are brownish fuscous, heavily overlaid with brick-red scales. The base of the wing and costa to the middle are light grey. The light-grey scaling diminishes beyond the middle of the wing and the extreme costal edge is bright pink spotted with black. There is much black scaling along the costa, inside the greyish area and along the veins toward the apex, as well as a conspicuous white spot encircled with black scales at the end of the cell. There are also two small black spots at the basal third, followed by white scaling. The hindwings are dark smoky fuscous. The larvae feed on '' Lomatium caruifolium'', ''Lomatium marginatum'', ''Lomatium nudicaule'', '' Lomatium utriculatum'', '' Angelica hendersonii'', ...

Moth
Moths are a paraphyletic group of insects that includes all members of the order Lepidoptera that are not butterflies, with moths making up the vast majority of the order. There are thought to be approximately 160,000 species of moth, many of which have yet to be described. Most species of moth are nocturnal, but there are also crepuscular and diurnal species. Differences between butterflies and moths While the butterflies form a monophyletic group, the moths, comprising the rest of the Lepidoptera, do not. Many attempts have been made to group the superfamilies of the Lepidoptera into natural groups, most of which fail because one of the two groups is not monophyletic: Microlepidoptera and Macrolepidoptera, Heterocera and Rhopalocera, Jugatae and Frenatae, Monotrysia and Ditrysia.Scoble, MJ 1995.

Angelica Lucida
''Angelica lucida'' is a species of angelica known by the common names seacoast angelica and sea-watch. It is also one of many species in the Apiaceae, celery family which are casually called wild celery. As its common names suggest, this plant is found most often along the coastline. Its distribution includes the Atlantic, Pacific, and Arctic coasts of North America, and the Russian Far East. The species can occur far inland in Arctic climates such as Alaska. ''Angelica lucida'' is considered an endangered species in some of the Northeastern United States. ''Angelica lucida'' is generally similar in appearance to other angelicas, with tall, dense umbels of yellowish-white flowers.Gleason, H. A. & A.J. Cronquist. 1991.

Oenanthe Sarmentosa
''Oenanthe sarmentosa'' is a species of flowering plant in the family Apiaceae known by the common name water parsley. It is native to western North America from Alaska to California, where it grows in wet areas, such as streambanks. It is sometimes aquatic, growing in the water. The plant has been used in cultivation in wetlands, and the recent discovery of several colonies growing by a stream in Illinois demonstrates its capacity to become a noxious weed if it is introduced elsewhere. This is a perennial herb growing to a maximum height near 1.5 meters. The leaves have blades up to 30 centimeters long borne on petioles up to 35 centimeters in length. The parsley-like leaf blade is divided into serrated, lobed leaflets. The inflorescence is a compound umbel In botany, an umbel is an inflorescence that consists of a number of short flower stalks (called pedicels) that spread from a common point, somewhat like umbrella ribs.
