UI Moth 090110-1 - Protoboarmia porcelaria - Female
Amherst, Hampshire County, Massachusetts, USA
September 1, 2010
Size: @1"
ID help appreciated. Is there a resource somewhere that gives basic hints as to identification? I looked at the silhouette chart in the guide, but couldn't get much farther than Geometrid. My only moth guide is Covell's Peterson guide. Is there a better one? I know of a person named Seabrooke (I follow her blog) who is going to publish one next year.
Thanks.

Looks Like a worn 6598 - Protoboarmia porcelaria
Try using the fast browse plates at MPG if not the guide pages here. No book can cover more than a small fraction of the moths of a region. (no rsvp, thanks)
