Double-striped Scoparia - Hodges#4716 - Scoparia basalis

Kellettville, Forest County, Pennsylvania, USA
July 4, 2008
Size: Maybe around 8 mm?

My measurement is more or less nose to wingtip.
Not sure where to start looking. Adding and frassing a few more views (it was tough to get the light right)
Considering Scoparia biplagialis (Double-striped Scoparia Moth Hodges - Hodges#4716)

Image

On the first image I added that I was considering Scoparia biplagialis (Double-striped Scoparia Moth Hodges - Hodges#4716). Did you see that?
Also, which image did you think was the best? None were very good.

Yes

I'd seen that, and should have been more specific that I looked that the MPG section and specificly 4716. As for which photo, that's a tough one, but for the darkest one, which I don't think is the best of the bunch.

Okay, now I remember why

I gave you my thoughts on this particular photo... upon reflection, I think this one was the clearest at least on my monitor.
