I found this in the morning, resting under the florescent lamp. Is this Metarranthis angularia? Besma? Need some direction. Thanks! Nina

I am not familiar with your moth but I thought http://mothphotographersgroup.msstate.edu/species.php?hodges=6822 might be worth looking at. I noticed that on the left wing there was a strong geometric pattern at the PM line that might indicate this species particularly evident in the John Davis photo.

An interesting parallel in the butterfly realm
When I glanced at the thumbnail of your moth, I thought it was a Fatal Metalmark.

Wow, wish it *was* the moth,
Wow, wish it *was* the moth, the flecks of metallic markings look really neat!
