Size: abiut 10mm.
Came to our 400 watt mercury vapor light set-up during a group moth night, at Franklin-Parker preserve here in the Jersey pines, he finally came to the light around 1:30 in the morning!

Is this moth a 5853 – Dioryctria amatella – Southern Pineconeworm Moth??? Can this be confirmed, if so it is sure out of its' range!
