Calephelis perditalis
Mating butterflies. About 5 cm wingspan
Oak forest.
Might be, but I usually do not dare to ID a Calephelis from a picture, too tricky.
Went with the Rounded Metalmark, Calephelis perditalis, because of the second white squiggly band.
It is either Calephelis sp. or Detritivora sp. Most probably Calephelis sp. and this means impossible to ID without the native specimen and dissection and/or DNA.
