Tallahassee, Leon County, Florida, USA September 1, 2023 Size: appr. 15mm FW
Attracted to black light. After much agonizing I decided that the large moth is a 8390.2 Physula albipunctilla, a rather uncommon erebid. The partially cropped picture in the top right corner is of a Sciota univella that had chosen to rest close to the large erebid moth (after initially leaving both moths intact in the photo I later edited it to be as it is now, presumably the most appropriate way to deal with this awkward situation).
