Reticulated Sparganothis - Sparganothis reticulatana
Parkwood, Durham County, North Carolina, USA
July 31, 2007
Size: 17 mm wingspan
Found inside an outdoor gazebo-style tent, which makes a good trap, actually. Wingspan measured in place. I thought this photo came out well and adds something to the guide images we have already. I love how the antennae curve back over the eyes, partly covering them--very cryptic.

Great coloration!
Looks like some funky sofa pattern!
