You might want to hold off on the Lithophane petulca. I was replying to another post on ncsc-moths and thought I'd share my pic of this moth and see what the members of that group thought. The first 2 replies came back as Lithophane petulca which seemed to fit. Later, other replies came in that questioned that ID, mainly because there are other species of Lithophane that look similar to my moth. The pic is attached.
