Thanks, Lori. It seemed to me that the photos matched, but I always feel better
with confirmation from others. I have also had plenty of the winter trio, plus
a few sallows – Straight-toothed and Variable and perhaps another species. The
sallows turned out for bait two nights ago.

Harry, I would have to agree with you on the id, though I am not an expert
either . . . .it is dead on to Mark Dreiling's photo which is backed up by DNA.
Cool find--you are one of the lucky ones to actually be seeing something other
than the winter trio (Toothed Phigalia and both Cankerworms) right now!

I have posted about finding several micros lately, and I attached a copy of
one that has come back again. I have attached a photo from last night that may
help with the ID. As I have sifted through MPG and Bug Guide I think it may be
Arla tenuicornis, 1905. The images posted at Bug Guide come from the following
places on the dates indicated:
Milton, Massachusetts, USA
July 6, 2005
Bartlesville, Washington County, Oklahoma, USA
April 17, 2009
Ouachita National Forest, LeFlore County, Oklahoma, USA
March 14, 2010
DuPage County, Illinois, USA
May 2, 2010
I have also found a record for Washington state in 1931, Montana and
California, so it could be much more widespread than the photographic records
indicate. I checked BAMONA, but they have no records of the moth.
This may be early for the moth, but with temps in the 60s here yesterday, who
knows?
As always, please check out the photo and correct me as needed. I always
value your feedback.
