Thank you Kyhl for the ID and

Thank you Kyhl for the ID and Jason for the confirmation. After reading some of the references I'm assuming this is a relatively recent introduction (at least 20 years). Just curious as to why there are not more photographic records online. Is it not yet prolific or is it not being identified by moth photographers? I had previously photographed it on 9 & 26 Jul 2018 and 11 Aug 2018, finally decided it was time to submit to BugGuide. Okay, mostly thinking out loud here. Also appreciate your work at iNaturalist.

Not an introduction

This is a native species, and an uncommon one at that. Please submit your other photos as well!

I added the dorsal shot of the one from Aug 16 2018. Also added the other three dates directly to the Eucosmomorpha neartica page. I assume you'll check to make sure I haven't made a mistake. Thanks.

I'm really tempted to call this Eucosmomorpha nearctica

Let's see what others think.
