Turtle River State Park, Grand Forks County, North Dakota, USA

Size: Wingspread ~ 2.5 cm
I'm reposting this specimen as an possible example of the Four-lined Cabera (6680) rather than the Four-lined Wave (7165). The specimen appears to lack the finely peppered brown scales of Scopula, except on the costa of the forewing, and that makes me doubt that this specimen is the Four-lined Wave. This specimen appears to bear a striking resemblance to Marcie's recent photo of the Four-lined Cabera (see thumb photo below).

Four-lined Cabera
I agree, Carl. I would say that this is the same as the moth I posted.

Thanks, Marcie!
Thank you for taking the time to look at this specimen. Thanks to for posting your swell photo of the Four-lined Cabera (6680)!
