Exposed Bird-dropping Moth? -
Ponometia candefacta
Angelica, Allegany County, New York, USA
September 8, 2007
Believe ID is correct. Exposed Bird-dropping Moth - Acontia aprica 9136
This will allow "data" updating to show September flight in NY. Would like to check female but not to sure here. 8-)

Moved to Ponometia candefacta
Moved from

Tentative ID. I still do not know how to be certain with members of this subfamily, however, it does seem to match the description for
Ponometia candefacta
. Also, no images of either sex of
Tarache aprica
, formerly in
Acontia
, at either BOLD or MPG show a dark smudge along the costal margin between the reniform and orbicular spots. This pattern seems to eliminate much of
Acontia
and
Tarache
.

Moved from
Moths

I'd have guessed
Tarachidia candefacta
. Take a look at all the examples in
Tarachidia
and see what you think.
