Sorry Eilleen, I shouldn't have moved it so far since there is only one species in that Genus. If you would rather have it "out there" longer, you can move it back to Moths. Sorry I moved it at all!

This is definitely a Crambid Snout Moth. I thought possibly Genus Crambus until I found this one . I am not sure your photograph shows enough of the lateral lines to make a species identification. Consider this a place to look, not an ID.

?Chrysoteuchia toparius
It certainly looks like a match.

Thanks, I hope so, but I am not an expert and these are difficult.
