Moth 06.27.2009 038 - Pleuroprucha insulsaria
Moccasin Lake, Winston, Douglas County, Georgia, USA
June 27, 2009
Size: 22mm measured span
Need help with ID for this moth. It has a 22mm wingspan and appeared green with a red fringe border when viewed against a tan background (patio umbrella). When it is viewed against a white background (back-lit with UV), it appears more of a white coloration with gray fringe. The photo here is against the tan patio umbrella in order to show the greenish tinge as well as the red broder.

7132 - Pleuroprucha insulsaria
Yes, camera setting, angle, and light source produce a range of colorations, plus the moths themselves vary greatly from almost white to almost black, but mostly in the brown tones. (no rsvp, thanks)
