Moth to identify - Paleacrita vernata - Male
Fort Collins, Larimer County, Colorado, USA
April 4, 2013
Size: (see below)
Attracted to light. Was thinking Pyralid or Crambid\Pyraustinae, but maybe it is something else (Geometer?) At rest, the wingspan was 13mm, and body length was 16 mm. Seems like it should be a fairly easy ID.
