Moth ID Request - Omphalocera cariosa
Schulenburg, Fayette County, Texas, USA
August 15, 2014
Size: apx. 24 mm long inc palps
I didn't think this one matched anything exactly, but I wondered if it might be Hodges #8461 – Hypena humuli – Hop Vine Moth. It is larger than any Hypena scabra I have seen.
