Small brown moth, spring, Louisiana - Iridopsis defectaria - Male
Baton Rouge, East Baton Rouge Parish, Louisiana, USA
April 7, 2022
Size: 30 mm wingtip to wingip
I've noticed a few of these spring and summer. This one was drawn to my back porch light and stuck around during the day. Between 30 and 35mm from wingtip to wingtip. I kept the specifics out of the size field to make it easier to read.

Apologies for overlooking the "Adult" box
Sorry Bob. I'll be more careful in the future. Thanks for the ID.
