Emarginea percara #9718 - Emarginea percara
8 mi. SW of Wimberley, Comal County, Texas, USA

Size: 24mm Wingspan
At incandescent light. 24mm is a little larger than any of the Vargo Emargineas at MPG, but the pattern looks reasonable, especially the little concave nick in FW outer margin.

ID Correct
I agree with E. percara.

E. pallida is the next closest in appearance, but I believe it is restricted to west of the Rockies.
