Lon and Enriqueta, I was SO happy to see this submission of yours. I saw lots of these last February and March for the first time since I have been photographing moths. On the strength of yours I am moving them to species and adding my February sighting which looks more like your specimen. I found them hard to photograph to show much detail, but they posed exactly as does L. plemyriaria.
