Pigritia? - Pigritia murtfeldtella
Beacon, Dutchess County, New York, USA
June 7, 2021
Size: 5-10 mm
I see this guy frequently at my porch light, or at least ones that resemble it. This individual has more distinct markings unlike the others that are usually too worn to see much. Is this a Pegritia sp and if so can you tell which one?

Pigritia sp.
These should be starting to fly now here on Block Island. Interesting to see the effect of the oceanic influence on phenology.
