Noctuid - Hypenula cacuminalis
Tallahassee, Leon County, Florida, USA
September 22, 2013
Size: Length ≈15mm
Attracted to outdoor light. Maybe someone can help - Many times I have been trying to figure this one out: at first sight it reminds of a Condica but I don't think it is one. Size in this case is not from measurement but an estimate.

Yes ...
Thanks, Kyhl- for your help with the ID - the wing patterns are right on! I have photographed many of this species, but without distinct protruding palps I had never thought of it as a possibility for this moth.
