Hello
Richard,

Welcome to BugGuide! What a nice contribution for your first submission. I am sorry no expert has noticed this one yet.

I am a very new contributing editor, just moving earlier posts from ID Request to Moths to make more room for new ID Requests. As you go along, you will find this a routine procedure.

I am not qualified to make species identified, but you happen to have posted one that I have had in my mystery files until just this month.

I think it is Hodges #0373 Clemens' Grass Tubeworm Moth. You might take a look to see what you think.

I hope an expert comes along soon.

Until then, have fun and keep posting.
