Erebidae: Zale lunata? - Zale minerea
Erskine, Grand Forks County, Minnesota, USA

Size: Wingspread ~ 4 cm
Hmmm...this specimen might be an example of either Z. lunata (8689) or Z. minerea (8697). Expert attention required, I think.

Thanks, Jason!
Thanks for making the ID on this specimen. I don't see enough of them to ever be quite sure about species-level identities. ;-)
