Unknown moth - lichen moth? - Mathildana newmanella Rocky Narrows, Middlesex County, Massachusetts, USA June 12, 2011 Size: Approximately 1cm
Seen resting on a fern leaf. It's not obvious from this close-up image, but this moth looked very much like a firefly - perhaps a mimic? The patterns on the wings look similar to a number of the lichen moths, but I haven't been able to find a match. Any help would be appreciated.
