Moth - Psychomorpha epimenis
Perry County, Pennsylvania, USA
April 24, 2009
Size: 13 mm
An apparently diurnal moth found flying quickly over the lawn. Non-clubbed antennae indicate a moth and not a butterfly, right?

Body about 13 mm long not including antennae

That must be it
or at least close to it. There are some grape vines in the general area it was found.

Thanks for your help
