Moth, Metarranthis genus maybe? - Probole amicaria
Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada
June 20, 2012
Size: 2.5cm wide photo
Similar jagged wing pattern as Metarranthis indeclinata, but color pattern the oppositie. Thought it might be in the Metarranthis genus but couldn't find an id. Spooted in the evening by a porch light, common around here.
