Hodges #8699 - Zale oblique - Zale obliqua
Tallahassee, Leon County, Florida, USA
February 9, 2018
Size: Forewing ≈20mm
Attracted to black light. Reexamining this moth in my files, I convinced myself now that, among other features, the shaded PM line of the hindwings and the diffuse white patch near the forewings' tornus are adequate criteria for posting it as a Zale obliqua.
