NMW2016 - Moth 64 - Idia lubricalis
Little Long Lake, St. Louis County, Minnesota, USA
July 31, 2016
Size: 18 mm
Came to light. Looks like an Idia of some sort, but not sure exactly which one (I have guesses...). It was very large for an Idia. Size is from head to end of wings.

I. lubricalis apparently consists of at least 4 undescribed spp.
Moved from Butterflies and Moths.

I suggest Genus Aglossa, possibly which has been reported in Michigan, but not is Minnesota.

Interesting
Still trying to figure this one out. I feel a bit hesitant to call it that particular Aglossa species, as this moth appears to have a thin, dark reniform spot bordered by a light area, and also has a very contrasting light area near the trailing edge of the fore wings. Maybe there are variations, but I don't see that in the description of this Aglossa? Help?

That was not intended to be a species placement, just a suggested place to look.
