Lacinipolia acutipennis

Lacinipolia acutipennis
Crooked River National Grassland, Jefferson County, Oregon, USA
September 15, 2020
Size: ~13 mm TL
Came to UV light at Skull Hollow Campground. Found several of these at this location over a three day period. I have posted four already due to variations in maculation. Decided to post yet one more due to variation in size. This moth looks almost exactly like one already posted that was found a couple days earlier. I thought in fact that it might have been the same moth that had returned. Upon closer scrutiny, I found some very subtle differences in appearance. The biggest difference is size. At ~13 mm TL, this was the smallest one of these that I found there that week and at least 2 mm smaller than the one from two days previous. Here is a link to the other moth mentioned above:
