Could be Bleptina caradrinalis but I'm saying that only because it has wing patterns like the one I'm calling Bleptina caradrinalis which might be wrong altogether. My specimen is brown with no gray. Posted 6 years ago

  Thanks, I was leaning towards Bleptina caradrinalis as well. There seems to be quite a bit of variation with the above mentioned species, lol. Moths are never simple! Posted 6 years ago
