Clover Looper - Hodges #8738 (Caenurgina crassiuscula)
East Brunswick, Middlesex County, New Jersey, USA
August 16, 2009
Found on front porch…attracted to light.
Not easy to approach, but finally settled down for 2 shots.

It was interesting that with those nearly perfect triangles on the upper forewings, I actually thought, while working the ID, that there might be something mathematical in the name. Then I came upon the word "Euclidiini' as the 'Tribe' (a term I hadn't noticed before) and knew to search within this category. That had to be it…and it was.

Image color balance adjusted for incandescent lighting to match daylight.
