I may well...
have found it! What think you of 3296 (MPG, BG, BOLD)? That beast seems to have quite the eclectic distribution, though with a seeming epicenter in the SW. I wonder if it could be a produce transport, which could provide rationale behind the odd distribution, or if it's just quite rare throughout the US and southern Canada. Note the wide flight-time span indicated at MPG.

Looks like it, but
MPG has no records closer to SK than WI.

Filigreed Chimoptesis?
I've been searching for 3 years to try and identify this moth and can't find a match. This is the closest I've found. I've only seen this moth once so it's a bit of a mystery. Could this species be moving into our area or is there another similar species that I'm missing in my search. Thanks so much for your help.
