Plume Moth? - Geina
Doddridge County, West Virginia, USA
June 13, 2007
Sorry, I am completely clueless as to what this is, or even where to start looking. It was very small, taken on an Oxeye Daisy about 1 1/4" diameter.

edit: I found something similar on this guide page, am I correct? Species Geina tenuidactyla - Himmelman's Plume Moth - Hodges#6092
