Cabbage or Gray Looper? - Rachiplusia ou
Tallahassee, Leon County, Florida, USA
October 27, 2012
Size: ~20 mm length
At outdoor light. I detected this moth on a photo of another moth: being a "background" so to speak it is not a high quality image, but when I saw it Trichiplusia ni came to my mind. Is it? If so,it would be the first for Florida. But it may also be a Gray Looper Rachiplusia ou.
