I read the information about the Wavy Lined and Straight Lined Mallow moths and I couldn't confirm what this is. I would guess it is the Wavy Lined.

Katy, I agree with you, but let's wait to see if someone else agrees with us. In looking at the BOLD specimens I was interested to see that the ventral view seems to possibly give us an easier way to separate these two species. Had never noticed that before.
