Dotted Sallow Moth? - Omphaloscelis lunosa
Reston, Fairfax County, Virginia, USA
October 12, 2015
Size: 18-20 mm total length
observed near porch light in morning, stayed all day. This looks to me like Anathix ralla, the Dotted Sallow, based on comparison to Peterson description and BG images -- but I've been mistaken any number of times, so please correct me if this is another.
