Pygmy Paectes - Hodges#8959 - Paectes pygmaea - Female
Pickens County, Georgia, USA
July 13, 2009
Size: forewing length 11 mm.
Found at porch light.

My guess is Paectes pygmaea - Pygmy Paectes - Hodges#8959.

Forewing appeared mostly dark brown to the naked eye. I brightened the photo a bit so the
wing markings could be seen better.
Hindwing was blackish with broad white fringe.
