unknown moth - Orthosia arthrolita
Aromas, San Benito County, California, USA
October 22, 2008
Size: ~30mm wingspan.
Came to black light. I've just started photographing the moths which come to my black light, so I'll likely be submitting more than one photo of the same species until I get an idea of the variation within each species. (live oak/chaparral habitat).
