Florida Moth - Mocis cubana
Collier County, Florida, USA
November 6, 2015
ID suggestion from MPG images. The distinct dark postmedial patch on the costal margin seems not to be a feature for any Mocis but cubana. Submitted for confirmation or other idea for ID. New for Florida for BG.

Cuban Mocis: The PM line is very jagged, at the curve. Otherwise, the shape is very similar to those on Mocis marcida. The Texas images seem to look different, for some reason. That may be a regional variation, but I'm not sure.
