Orange-patched Smoky Moth - Pyromorpha dimidiata
Wertheim National Wildlife Refuge, Suffolk County, New York, USA

Size: 10 mm +/- (L)
Found in oak woodland.
Looks like it wasn't completely done developing its wings.
Reminds me of the Orange-patched Smoky Moth.

Thanks for confirming. I've seen a lot of butterflies with problems, but this is the first time that I've seen a moth messed up like this.
