April, thank you for verifyin
April, thank you for verifying this little moth for me, and for correcting my mis-identification. Was I out in left field on this one or what?

Thanks again!

Pax Vobiscum,
Scotty

Moved to guide
- April's ID looks good to me, but I'm sure someone will let us know if it's not!

Utah seems out of place
on our data map. Anything else it could be?

According to our info
the range includes most of the US. This one certainly looks similar, but I see so much variation in our images, I don't know whether that helps.



I do remember when I found a Large Yellow Underwing, there was not much else with the single black line on the hindwing
