Plume moth ID
These seem to be tough .. I have about five or six different species from my place I'm trying to separate from images over the past six years. I would look at Emmelina monodactyla - the Morning-glory Plume. 6234. The recurved wing terminus, the lack of a darker pattern on dorsal surface of wing, the abdominal ?sculpture or foramina seem to be present in this species. E. monodactyla comes in different color choices. Size, such as wing span, would be somewhat interesting. However, I'm far from an expert and take just as a suggestion. DW

Thanks
Dick. Bob ran a couple of images from my place through his resources last year and came up with the same for most of them.
