Olive Arta Moth (Arta olivalis) At a 365nm UV light setup at a mixed forest edge. Jason built me a better moth setup (with more exposure and mobility). I haven't really used it yet, but I turned on my light this morning just for testing purposes. This worn moth happened to show up before I shut my lights back off, and I was super surprised at finding it! Only a handful of observations (in Georgia) on both iNaturalist and BugGuide.
