Field Notes

Description:

A small, white moth with darker mottling. It looks pink in the last photo, but I think that was just from the black light nearby to attract the moths.

Habitat:

Porch light on a building in a forested area.

I'm not fully sure on this one, although it does have the general shape of a moth in the Nolidae family, and this looks like the best match.
