Sheathed Quaker - Hodges#10567 - Ulolonche culea
Marlton, Burlington County, New Jersey, USA
May 23, 2008
Came to the light at night. Shot on the glass door.
Maybe Elaphria grata (Grateful Midget - Hodges#9684) or Ipimorpha pleonectusa (Even-lined Sallow - Hodges#9555) ???

I have a lot of doubt about both.

that looks closer than my guess
I had looked at that one, but again, thought the same thing about the dun-bar, that it was likely too light... not too many reference images to look at, but Jim Vargo's is good, as is the single live image on MPG.

Thanks
to both of you for ll of the help.

I agree with you
I think that it's not the grateful midget, and is closer to the sallow...but the even-lined has similar markings with the exception of the upper set of open celled ovals--yours has got small whitish markings, not the open oval... maybe this weekend I'll do some searching and see if I can help you find a better match? I have your image tagged to remind me

okay...
I was on a mission...over at MPG's pinned section...

on markings alone, it's close to 9815, American Dun Bar moth... but if it is, it's awfully dark!

info page
Hi again John, I looked at the images that show the variability, which is linked on the bg info page. Here's the link. There ARE some dark variations. I'm still not confident that your specimen is even a match, but I'm obviously obsessing over figuring it out.

Thanks
I had looked at those too. I think that you are probably correct, either a VERY melanistic Cosmia calami or something else very close.

well at least we're both thinking along the same lines... wait... no... that's frightening!!!
