Heavily marked moth with snout - Platynota rostrana
Houston, Harris County, Texas, USA
February 18, 2009
Size: ~ 1/2 inch
To the best of my memory, it came to my porch light. The shape and size made me think tortricidae, and Platynota rostrana was the closest match I could find in the Guide or MPG. Is that what it is?
