Moth at Lights - Apatelodes torrefacta
Near Ruraldale, Upshur County, West Virginia, USA
July 14, 2005
Size: 41 mm across at widest
Attracted to lights. I found the family in seconds with Lynette's sihouette guide to moths in the "Articles" forum, and found the species seconds after that. It is a nice resource.
