Seth, this moth has really been bothering so I went BACK through the Owlets. I think it could be

. I have had one in Schulenburg that did not look exactly like yours and the one that has been identified from Florida doesn't look like it either, but this one shows the same strong rather wavy PM line and the markings at the wing tip. I hope someone will confirm this tentative ID.

That is a tough one...

The photos on MPG also look similar but not an exact match. A couple of the BG photos from Texas look more like it however. Should I leave it in ID request or move it somewhere else for expert attention?

Confirmation request

Notice, I asked for a confirmation. That is your clue. I really believe in this one, but do not want to mess up the guide. Please leave it where it is for a while.

For what it's worth, the only

For what it's worth, the only moth I could find that resembles this moth was also Tyrissa multilinea. I ruled out many others on the basis of the smooth PM line on the HW (such as the Zales which have more jagged lines). Nothing else at all matched up to this moth which seems like it should be very easy to ID.

Thanks

Nancy, I value your opinion and appreciate the support. I am troubled that this one, which I DO think is Tyrissa multilinea, is so much different that I hesitate to place it. It helps that you too came to the same conclusion.
