Thanks, guys! I really appreciate it!...
...and a special thank you to Robert for your encouragement. My photography has taken a turn of a photo journalistic nature, but I really prefer shooting nature subjects and I have a new DSLR, and a new macro lens on order! This should be a good year!!!

Dolocucullia dentilinea
This looks like Dolocucullia dentilinea to me.

Moved from ID Request.

 
I now have a guess!
Maybe a little late, Robert, but what do you think of Pleromelloida conserta - Hodges#10027?

Shotgun Eddie ID'd this one for me previously, but I did not see the similarity until now!


 
Too Late?
It's never too late! I am not comfortable ID moths that are not in my fauna. Someone will ID now moved from ID Request. I've had some bugs ID'd a year after posting. Keep the faith & keep shooting.
