Last one for today. Attracted to porch light. Compared to Hodges plate #8962. Confirmation or correction appreciated. Not sure about this one either.

Size?

This is one case in which you can easily estimate the size by measuring the screen squares. It is always helpful to have that info.

Measurement

I know. I have a very difficult time getting measurements because the moths move or take off. I do continue to try and will measure those screen squares.

Seven squares equal 1 cm
