Arizona Moth - Leptostales rubromarginaria - Female
Sky Islands Traverse near mile 121 off Rt. 366, Mt. Graham , Graham County, Arizona, USA
May 31, 2018
Size: 21 mm wing span
Similar to either Dark-ribboned Wave Moth – Leptostales rubromarginaria Hodges 7179 or Leptostales ferruminaria Hodges 7180, but seemingly not quite - and neither seem to range to Arizona. On sheet with UV black light. Submitted for ID help. Another similar image submitted of different specimen - same collection site and date.

Bruce Walsh's site has a specimen that is close. Records from Arizona for this variable moth.
Nice!
