Plume Moth
B & B,
Probably something in the Pterophorinae subfamily. Plumes are difficult to ID and you will definitely need more detailed photos. These had previously been ID's by our "resident" plume expert, Joyce Gross, but she hasn't been reviewing in some time. Perhaps someone else will have an idea.
