At outdoor light. It's either Lascoria alucitalis or L. orneodalis, I think, based on information for this one .

Moved from Lascoria.

female Lascoria alucitalis
I am grateful to Curtis Lehman who made me aware of a comment by Kimball here http://www.mbarnes.force9.co.uk/jamaicamoths/images8/lasorn.htm: In it Kimball states that female L. alucitalis, but not female L. orneodalis have a "dark diagonal mark from the forewing apex." Such a mark is present on my moth, and I saw it also on photos of female alucitals of BOLD.
