I found 3 pics on Bugguide and a one in a private photo album and all are darker than mine but one of the Bugguide pics has the all white fringe. This species or even the genus isn't to be found on MPG. http://bugguide.net/node/view/273771/bgpage Ken Childs Henderson, TN Chester County http://www.finishflagfarms.com ________________________________ From: Ali Iyoob <Aliiyoob@xxxxxxxxx> To: tn-moths@xxxxxxxxxxxxx; ncsc-moths@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Tue, March 15, 2011 10:56:13 AM Subject: [tn-moths] Re: [ncsc-moths] Re: Too many micros! Yeah, from the few pictures I have seen online, it seems that it is a variable species. Try looking at bugguide and see if you can find a specimen that matches yours well.

The shape is right but the pattern isn't. There aren't many pics of this species online but if the ID's are correct, their pattern is extremely variable so Siederia walshella is a definite possibility.

I have a hard enough time identifying medium to large moths but the last couple of nights has offered a big selection of micros which, for me, can be very tough to ID. I thought this one would be easy to find but after looking through a few thousand pictures, I've been proven wrong again. I almost missed it because it was extremely small and so thin that from the top, it was virtually invisible. Anyone recognize it? Ken Childs Henderson, TN Chester County http://www.finishflagfarms.com
