At outdoor light. I just noticed that no Florida image of this moth is from later in the year than June. My photo shall remedy this.

Thanks!
Thank you, Paul, for straightening me out with regard to Mocis. I thought I know, and I am careless.

Moved from Withered Mocis. I messed up with this one, it seems. The PM line remains straight up to the inner margin but would not reach it if the moth were M. marcida. It probably is M. latipes.
