Yellow-spotted Webworm Moth - Hodges #5176 - Anageshna primordialis
Mobile (Dog River), Mobile County, Alabama, USA
June 10, 2015
Size: FWL ≈ 5mm
I'm guessing something in the neighborhood of Apogeshna, but the markings are not distinctive and it's a really tiny moth, with a wingspan of approx. 11mm. Ideas?
UPDATE: Adds June datapoint for Alabama

Anageshna primordalis?
Robert, I don't think it is Apogeshna. I've encountered Anageshna primordalis in all kind of variations and I'm tired of them (that may be an inappropriate comment and, who knows, there may be unrecognized species!).

Thanks
Thanks, Peter. I've learned not to try ID'ing something in the wee hours of the morning, then the next day, "What was I thinking?"
