Small Brocade
Oligia minuscula

Observation date: August 20, 2020
Submitted by: dawittrock2231
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: Near a floodlight on my deck. AM line matches, this specimen has weak connecting bar between AM and PM lines, but Peterson shows a second variant without bars and with shading comparable. Moth Photographers does show an Eremobina claudens with similar lines, but I agree that line is not consistent with most specimens I have seen online and that is possibly a misidentification.
