Geina plume moth sp.? - Paraplatyptilia
Mayo River State Park, North Carolina, USA
July 13, 2011
Photographed this plume moth last year in the foerst near the Mayo River. I believe it is in the Geina genus, but can't find a good match.

I agree 100%
1) that it looks like Geina and
2) I can never get beyond genus with these guys based on a photo.

Perhaps some day....
