UI Baited Moth 080309-2 - Idia lubricalis
Amherst, Hampshire County, Massachusetts, USA
August 3, 2009
Second of the baited experience.

ID help appreciated. Please, if you would, tell me what distinguishing characteristic puts it in its particular family/genus. I've tried to figure these out with guides, but I'm a bit thick, I guess.
