blacklighting for NMW event in wooded area. Would like some help with ID please. Thanks! It is small but not micro.
Maybe either Pyralid or Crambid? But could it be a Wockia?...Kind of looks like MPG - http://mothphotographersgroup.msstate.edu/species.php?hodges=2415.1

Re: Not sure which moth?
Probably one of the Phycitini.

Thanks Jay
It does look like it fits in Phycitini. In fact there is another photo under Phycitini images - http://bugguide.net/node/view/451822/bgimage - that looks similar labeled by the contributor as Mediterranean flour moth but Bob Patterson does not think it fits that genus.
What about Homoeosoma deceptorium - http://bugguide.net/node/view/373986/bgimage ?
Appreciate the help!

I think it does look like H.
I think it does look like H. deceptorium and not Ephestia. However, I am not personally familiar with H. deceptorium.

Thanks!
It not only looks like it on BG but also MPG - http://mothphotographersgroup.msstate.edu/species.php?hodges=5944 .
Will see if anyone else comments before moving it.
