Geometridae: Speranza subcessaria? - Leuconycta diphteroides
Grand Forks, Grand Forks County, North Dakota, USA
June 24, 2011
Size: Length ~ 2 cm
I think this specimen may be an example of the Barred Speranza (see example below); but, if so, its two distal coastal markings seem less defined or pronounced than shown in BG images. I need help with this one. Thanks! ;-)

Thanks, Eddie!
Hmmm...yes, there certainly is a striking resemblance here, too:


Moths are soooo confusing. ;-)
