Marasmia trapezalis- the Trapeze Moth - Marasmia cochrusalis

Marasmia trapezalis- the Trapeze Moth - Marasmia cochrusalis
Stafford Township, Pinelands/ Ocean County, New Jersey, USA
July 16, 2014
This moth attracted to Halogen spots at 9:57pm. Had moths like this come in throughout the second week of July.

Moved
Moved from Trapeze Moth.

Moved
Moved from ID Request.

When the comparison is this good , and it can be in Maryland http://mothphotographersgroup.msstate.edu/large_map.php?hodges=5288 I think it is okay. BG needs one from this area.

Range
I agree that this is probably Marasmia cochrusalis, but it is extremely out of range. The furthest north record is SC on MPG.
