Moved
Moved from Butterflies and Moths. At least superficially similar to Carolana, but may well be something entirely different. Any chance this was collected?

Carolana
Thanks, Aaron. No, this was not collected. I had a permit that did not include collecting. I talked to Jim Hayden about it and he has very limited ability to dissect the micro moths. He has helped me with some photo IDs though. Next year I should visit the large collection they have in Florida.

Got it
If this is Carolana, it's introduced or undescribed. That may not be the ID, and it might not even be close, but it's the best thought I have. The very long antennae may be distinctive.
