I have a photo of it with its wings closed too, if that would help. This was a
very active moth, I had to catch it on the run!

Many moths have this terrible habit of not always posing the same way so
looking at the shape of the wings of a living moth doesn't always help. I have
shots of what are generally thought of as slender species like some of the
Crambidae but they posed with their wings spread. Even though I'd recently seen
dozens of that particular species, I didn't recognize them with their wings
spread. Fortunately Rich helped point me in the right direction.. :-)

>>I guess moths have enough sense not to get out on a
cold, rainy night! Tonight I photographed only 1 and one other was fluttering
around so much I couldn't tell what it was. The downtime has given me a
chance
to go through my recent photos and do some ID-ing. Last night was very good
for all kinds of insects (except when I got stung on the temple by a wasp!
Fortunately, it was not a bad sting.)
