Gelechiid - Hodges #1513 - Florida Pink Scavenger Moth - Anatrachyntis badia
Tallahassee, Leon County, Florida, USA
November 3, 2017
Size: Length ≈6mm
Attracted to black light illuminated sheet. I thought that this well marked gelechiid moth would be easy to identify but I could not. To this layman's eyes it looks like an Aristotelia.

Pyroderces badia
Mindful of Bob Patterson's comment here that the pattern of the hindlegs differs between Pyroderces rileyi and P. badia, I compared what's visible of my moth's hindleg with what is visible on posted images and noticed that my moth lacks a relatively long dark segment near the end of the tarsus that I see on photos of Pyroderces rileyi. Such absence of a large dark segment apparently is typical for P badia tarsi.

Thank you, Kyhl
Pyroderces appears to be the right genus for my moth.
