Xanthotype
Moccasin Lake, Winston, Douglas County, Georgia, USA
May 24, 2009
Very pale yellow Xanthotype, fitting the description of Xanthotype sospeta in Covell - Moths of Eastern North America. However, according to remarks section the two (X. sospita and X. urticaria) are externally indistinguishable. Attracted to light, posted here in BG to show pale coloration and lack of spots.
