Moved

Moved from Twirler Moths. Bob Patterson's response - "Nice find! I don't see anything else to compete with that ID, and Powell says it is found in Arizona. I've saved the photo."

1996.5 – Gnorimoschema powelli?

I'd send it to Bob with this guess.

Check out CalPhotos here. If you rotate your image 180º and compare to the right wing of Powell's mage it's a pretty good match. The antennae and palps look good too.

Sure does!

Thanks for looking. I'll send this to BP.
