One of many forms of this species. They're mainly a northern moth, but they can be common in the mountains south to North Carolina. As a collector, I've noticed that the tips of the forewings on these always seem to droop downward on pinned specimens, no matter how long they're left on the spreading board. So frustrating. :)
