the brother - Raphia frater
Epping, Rockingham County, New Hampshire, USA

Would someone please help me with an ID on this moth? I believe this moth is either abrupt brother (Raphia abrupta)



or the brother (Raphia frater)



Attracted to the backdoor light.

Thanks, Siobhan

Raphia abrupta looks right to me.
