Broken Twig Moth -
Admetovis similaris
Fullerton, Orange County, California, USA
February 27, 2009
Size: 1" (approx.)

kind of
close.

Interesting moth...
Could have easily passed this off as a broken piece of wood..New genus and species pages created.

Admetovis similaris
in the Noctuidae

A. oxymorus
, but I think it flies later in the year.
