Hypena?

This looks like Vargo image of male 8443 – Hypena bijugalis at MPG.

Hypena

I think you're right about genus. I had a feeling I would grab a couple by mistake when moving 50 moths at a time. :-)

But as far as species, it looks to be a Hypena sordidula, which I believe is known from Missouri despite the MPG map.

Hypena sordidula

Yep, Hypena sordidula looks better. I saw the snout and thought it sure looked like Hypena so I looked until I got close then stopped since I wasn't sure if I was even on the right track.

Thanks for all the work you do for BG. If you get 1 in 50 that's good enough for me but I'll bet it more than a little better than that. ;-)

No problem

Thanks for the kind words. One thing I love about BG is ... many eyes to see! :-)
