Thank you Gary
It's nice to be able to put a name on it.

I agree
I agree, I have several similar moths that I identified as Haploa sp. I'm not sure it is an easy genus to take to species.

Thanks Stephen
It was a striking visitor on a night ten degrees too chilly for most beetles.

Interesting comment...
It's strange you should mention about the cold. It was pretty chilly here in chicago last night. I went out by the street light and there wasn't much of anything about, except for a few june bugs, and a few small moths. On the ground by the pole I found a Haploa all by itself.

I looked though the variations at the mpg and I think you can say this is the Haploa lecontei - Leconte's Haploa Moth - Hodges#8111, even with all the variations there is one very close to yours named as such over there...

Thank you, Gehan.
I agree so I've moved it to species page.
