Virbia aurantiaca - Orange Holomelina moth? - Virbia aurantiaca Tamarac National Wildlife Refuge, Becker County, Minnesota, USA July 24, 2016 Size: roughly 10 mm
Trying to cross-reference between webpages. It does look similar to this: http://mothphotographersgroup.msstate.edu/species.php?hodges=8121. The underwing isn't quite as open as I'd like. Captured during Minnesota Dragonfly Society field trip, while walking I flushed it out of semi-native mixed prairie and captured it with a net.
