Bent-line Carpet Moth - (Costaconvexa centrostrigaria; Hodges#7416) - Costaconvexa centrostrigaria
Berkeley Heights, Union County, New Jersey, USA
July 14, 2014
Size: 25 mm
Kind of looks like a Tulip Tree Beauty, but not.
Note the dark "stones" in the gray band, and how the bands on the body match the bands on the wings.
