Moth to identify please... (Noctuidae?) - Coelodasys unicornis - Male
Sherbrooke, Quebec, Canada
July 6, 2010
Hello all,

Here is a little male moth I photographed last July 6th, 2010 in Quebec, Canada (near Vermont, USA). I think it is a Noctuidae but I'm not sure...

Can somebody help me with its identification (family, genus, species)?

Michel
