I would say it is. I found it to be the most common and widespread spring moth attracted to my lights. To me this species signals the beginning of a new moth season. Now, if we could only get our hands on those Lycia species... :)

Thanks, Marius.
It's been a slow start to the moth season this year, but they're finally starting to show up.
