Moved
Moved from Moths.

Thanks Randy. I went ahead and moved it as if it's not the species, it's certainly a very very similar one. You're definitely much better than me about moths.... I wouldn't have even known the family..

I'm always conservative about IDs
I'm pretty new at this myself. I like to wait for the real experience to come along and give it the okay in most cases, especially if it's something I don't see myself in Tucson. This one looks like a dead ringer to the MPG photos so it might be safe to move it. How's THAT for a wishy-washy answer?

Phigalia titea Hodges #6658 to me. There are a couple similar moth in your area, though. See Moth Photographers Group.
