That one wingspan was 16 mm the next one is 14 mm. I will attach photos. I hope can solve the mystery. They were collected Sept. 8-2006 and Sept. 1-2006 in Hart co. Kentucky.

Oh, yes, and wing span not an accurate measurement. Forewing length base to tip is what systemetists use when describing a species or trying to identify one. This is because wingspan is variable by the position of the wings when mounted and is affected by the size of the thorax, but forewing length is always consistent. -----Original Message----- From: Richard Healy <rdhealy1951@xxxxxxx> To: tn-moths@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Date: Fri, 27 Apr 2012 11:28:51 -0400 (EDT) Subject: [tn-moths] Re: Mystery Moth.
