Thanks Merill. This is quite convincing.
I appreciate all the acquired knowledge you have been sharing with us.
I'm impressed with how fast you have gained so much expertise.

Larry,
Check the two attached images: a different image of the L. baileyi that I
posted, and an image of L. antennata that I took yesterday. To my eye,
antennata differs in several ways: the basal dash is thinner and much
straighter in antennata, more distinct and curved in baileyi; the orbicular
spot is oval in antennata and touches the suborbicular spot, in baileyi the
orbicular is not oval but more rectangular; the reniform spot in antennata is
mostly reddish and in baileyi just a tint of reddish shows in the reniform.
The general ground color of antennata is less contrasty and more subdued than
the more boldly patterned baileyi.

Merrill,
I don't see why a worn Lithophane antennata - Ashen Pinion - Hodges#9910 isn't
a possibilty.

Moth'ers,
This moth showed up at my light last night. I've spent some time looking at
the MPG plates and still don't have any idea what it is. Any ideas?
