Island Lake, Nevada?
I think you entered the incorrect state. Elko County is in Nevada. Could you please correct this? Thanks!

Sympistis
Hi Kyhi,
The lack of a quality image and the size of this Genus will probably relegate this guy to the unidentified folder but I did some browsing anyway. I found an image in Discoverlife of Sympistis mirificalis that is very similar. A few observations in CA, WA and CO mostly at higher elevations. This species is not included in BugGuide. Further thoughts?
