Phycitini
Do you have a lateral. These can vary a lot, but I think it may be 5919 – Honora mellinella

I see you are a new contributor to BG. Welcome and I hope you enjoy it as much as I have.

 
ID help - lateral shot
Hi Ann:

I just checked and I do not have a lateral on this one. I've been given that same tip from somebody on iNat regarding the bird-dropping moths, so I'll try to get more laterals going forward. Many thanks for all the ID help you've given me.

I'm finding the moths absolutely fascinating. It's something new every time I hang the sheet up. I've been amazed at the great patterns and colors for some of these things, and regretful that I've just passed them off all these years without realizing it.

Jack
