Frothy Moth
Hi Jon,

This looks like Plagiomimicus spumosum to me.

 
Oh My!
I think you are right, Aaron. And you should know, you raised some of these guys in 2014. Thank You so much for letting me know. I'll move this one.

 
A very common mistake
Note that ALL of the live moths on the Moth Photographers Group maritima page are actually Plagiomimicus! I had a hard time with these until I'd seen a bunch in hand.

 
Update
The MPG page for Papaipema maritima has been corrected, so the above comment is no longer applicable.
