Hodges #8995,8996 - Nola ovilla - clethrae - Nola clethrae
Tallahassee, Leon County, Florida, USA
March 26, 2022
Size: Forewing ≈9mm
Near outdoor light in the evening, photo taken next day in daylight. By my judgment, using the "double PM line" as a guide, an excellent match in MPG would be #8995 Nola ovilla, but BugGuide's Info page cites Hugh MacGuinness who points out that only its males can be reliably separated from 8996 Nola dethrae, using antenna morphology. For now all these types should be tentatively called N. clethrae. I let the experts decide.

Moved from Butterflies and Moths. It appears that without knowing sex this one should be placed here.
