looks good, except...
for the range. This fellow is Eastern US and a few spottings in California. Maybe the acorn moths forgot to let folks know they're moving up to my area? :)

Blastobasis
Good point. Perhaps, for now, it should be Blastobasis sp.

I still think it's a pretty good ID
Visually it looks like a very good match. I wasn't saying I didn't think it was possible as much as I was wondering if our range is wrong or the range has changed. Couldn't find any other definitive range info online for this critter.

Blastobasis
Perhaps we can get someone to confirm the ID and extend the range!
