Field Notes

Description:

Grayish moth with brown patches. Dark line with a white dot on each forwing. Raised scales on thorax and abdomen (see second image). My flash did reflect a bit off of this moth causing the colors to be a bit washed out.

Habitat:

Suburban. Attracted to a flood light at night.
