Ooops! Another One of my Errors
Thanks, Karl, for asking in email about antennae. They certainly are different from Zanclognatha because this species is 8362 - Phalaenostola metonalis.

Zanclognatha spp.
I can't settle on a single species. If that "bolt head" is some kind of watermarking device I hope it can be turned off so as not to ruin good photographs. (no rsvp, thanks)
