Lythrodes venatus
Fort Davis, Jeff Davis County, Texas, USA
August 16, 2017
Size: wing length 12 mm
Found at light. When people give the "size" I wish they would tell what they are measuring. I assume size means total length. Would you rather me post to the species page if there is already at least one other image from TX, instead of to the "ID request"? Unless of course I am unsure of my ID.

Size
For live moths, size is length, measured from the front of the head to the tips of the wings. For spread specimens, wingspan is what is typically given.
