Moved
Moved from Common Idia.

Idia sp.
perhaps this is Common Idia - Hodges#8323 (Idia aemula)

 
I'll go with that....
Thanks!

 
Idia americalis
I would venture to say this is Idia americalis instead because of the darkness of the three bands at the costal margin. Also, it is lighter than the Common Idia and the yellow spot is tucked in close to the AM line rather than below it like the Common Idia.

 
You have a sharper eye...
Than I! Thanks David.

 
American Idia
I hope it's a correct eye too. I think the American Idia is a lot prettier than the Common Idia. Besides, do you really want it to be "common" anyway?
