Emerald moth - Chlorochlamys phyllinaria
Amarillo, Randall County, Texas, USA
September 8, 2008
Size: 20mm
The lack of a second line on the hind-wing seems like it would help to ID this moth. Chlorochlamys phyllinaria seems like a possibility. Can anyone help with ID?

Looks like a Blackberry

Thanks...
...I'm not convinced, though. It still looks more like the thin-lined (Chlorochlamys phyllinaria) to me. The lines seem to be thinner and wavier than those of the Blackberry. I think I can safely move it to Chlorochlamys. I'll wait for more input to move to species.
