Moved from Noctuoidea. Look forward to hopefully replacing with a better image next year.

Blocky, I think this is a Litter Moth, possibly something Idia. Do you have any other shots? Or maybe you could darken it and get the lines to show up better.

I don't think this is a litter moth
It looks more Noctuid-esque to me.

Thanks Kyhl. At least I did not move it!

Have finished all the moves I can make in Moths as you requested through the Forum and am working on others as I feel comfortable.

Only 16 pages now!
Quite the difference. I guess I missed out on the reorganization while abroad the last few months. I'll look through anyway to see what I can move.

My, how my technique has improved
I used to have so much trouble getting good pictures of small (or even medium-sized) moths on a screen. New picture still not necessarily the true color — if my old self is to be believed, this moth was more monochrome — but at least the lines are a bit easier to see now.
