A Treat from Pterophoridae
Devils Tower KOA, Crook County, Wyoming, USA
June 8, 2017
Found in morning on bathroom building. Perhaps attracted to light. Probably some kind of plume moth? I think unusual appearance of shape is a viewing angle issue, and the shadow is the same shape because it came from the flash on the camera.
