Thank you.
Thank you for your help. I looked at all the Acrolophus species and decided that this is the species that the moth most resembles. There is another posted last year from Brazoria County so it doesn't seem unreasonable to find another one so close. If anyone believes differently, please let me know. Thanks again.
