Erebid moth - Ledaea perditalis
Tallahassee, Leon County, Florida, USA
July 23, 2017
Size: Forewing ≈13mm
Attracted to black light illuminated sheet. Distinctly patterned erebid (I think) moth that I thought would be easy to identify, but I cannot find a good match (do I overlook the obvious?). Please help.
