Possibly. I do not know if you know of Bugguide, but this species is here in that web site: http://bugguide.net/node/view/11374/bgimage
From there you can navigate thru the 'taxonomy' tab to other species in the tribe, looking at images with the images tab. Your moth is less stripey than the pictures of that species shown there, so you may find a better match with a species in the same tribe.
Thanks, Mark. I did look through BugGuide... it's generally one of my first stops in a quest for bug ID. Most of the moths I find have more defined markings than mine... could it be because of the lateness of the season? My little moth is a bit battleworn. :-)
Okay, back to more important stuff -- like whether or not we have enough white mints for the favors boxes.
