Thanks, Hugh!
I don't think that's wear because the overall condition of the moth looks too
clean but you're probably right about it being ministra. I think this is
probably just a mutant that developed without most of its wing scales.

Ken,
The Datana is highly worn. My guess is ministra.

Here are some cool moths from Monday night. I decided that would be my big Moth
Week night so I spent a lot of time at the sheets. I posted these in the FB
mothing group but I know some of you don't use FB so I'm posting them here too.
There didn't seem to be very many moths on the sheets but somehow I ended up
with 106 species.
