Plume Moths
I find plume moths difficult to ID. When I found this plume, I just knew it had to be unique. Wrong! There were three others that looked exactly alike to me. Hence, I don't even bother to photograph anymore. I'm thinking Covell listed only two plumes for good reason :}

Tho't it would be easy with moths butterflies.
Learned the hard way that is not so, except for the obvious ones. So much to learn and discover.

Carry on, lad.
