8140 or 8136? I am inclined to go with 8140 but the third image from the left on the MPG plate for 8136 http://mothphotographersgroup.msstate.edu/species.php?hodges=8136 looks very similar.

Just a suggestion...

Suggestion....
Thanks, Ron. I agree, it must be 8140. I withdraw my suggestion of 8136.
