Ponometia hutsoni? (fixed previous species typo) - Ponometia hutsoni
San Marcos, San Diego County, California, USA
July 31, 2018
Size: 10-12mm body length
Moth had been seen at a porch light and this photo taken later, 11:45pm, at a UV light in suburban yard.

The pattern on this specimen was so much more distinct than other P. hudsoni I had seen that it set me off on hours of chasing alternative IDs only to come back to hudsoni as the best visual fit I could find.
