Crambid - Herpetogramma fluctuosalis
Tallahassee, Leon County, Florida, USA
August 8, 2015
Size: Wingspan ~22mm
At outdoor light. One of those confusing pyraustines - looks to me somewhat like a 5727 Herpetogramma bipunctalis without the two black spots on the abdomen. Any suggestions?

5244?
Trying again to find an ID, I think it might be a badly worn Herpetogramma fluctuosalis. I move it to genus page and wait for possible confirmation.
