Mystery Moth-5 - Phigalia titea - Male
Minden, Haliburton, Ontario, Canada

Size: Medium
I first thought this was the half-wing moth (Phigalia titea), but the black spots on the medial line are not found on half-wings -- not at least on the photos I've seen. Any ideas?

Phigalia titea
I can't imagine what else it could be. The Plate photo in MPG also has these spots. They are really numerous now at my place in Minnesota.

Thanks once again David. It seems as if we have the same moths right now.
