Robert . . can we tag this with an ID ?
After research I realize this must be Antaeotricha schlaegeri because of its size. I know it was larger than Antaeotricha leucillana which is such a tiny moth. I see that whichever species it is . . . it'd be a first in Ohio for BugGuide :)

I note I failed to record the size when I first posted. Oops :( Sorry. And thanks.

Thank you Robert . .
I'd missed your comment. I'd say you nailed the ID. What a great little moth.
