Crambidae i.d., another candidate
Last night, I was researching another Crambid and came across this species: Sosipatra rileyella
Definitely found in Colorado. Thoughts?

possible Goya
Here are Paul Opler's comments: Moths off the genus Goya seem limited to the Southeast from what I can find on Google. Are there any shown in our western moth book?

Goya?
Hi Ann,
I see that MPG has only a record in Texas for this species. It is not mentioned in Moths of Western N. America. I am going to forward the photo to Paul and Chuck Harp and see if they comment, thanks, Pam

Possibly
in my eyes. What were you thinking? I have thought I had Goya ovaliger here but have never been able to get a confirmation from BOLD. MPG does not show either Goyas to be found in Colorado.
