Hi Harry, I caught the moth later for DNA to determine the species, but thanks for your input. And while I'm on this topic, anyone know of someone who would take my micro specimens? Hugh? I am guessing Sangmi Lee is busy and not available.

I have now added it to my list. Harry From: Kyle Kittelberger Sent: Thursday, April 19, 2012 11:04 PM To: Moth List Subject: [ncsc-moths] Homosetia/Stenoptinea Challenges Hey everyone, I photographed and caught a Homosetia/Stenoptinea tonight that I would like to have some input on. I can't decide between Homosetia bifasciella 0287(http://mothphotographersgroup.msstate.edu/species.php?hodges=287) or Stenoptinea auriferella 0296 (http://mothphotographersgroup.msstate.edu/species.php?hodges=296). Any ideas on whether it might be one or the other, or should I just collect this moth? Thanks, Kyle
