Please add this moth and any other moths you may have to the mission, Moths of the Americas.

Thanks!

Charlotte, where you know the common name of the species, please could you look up & add the scientific name - it is very easy to do on a Google search. That takes the spotting out of the "unknown" list. We would also appreciate it if you could add a reference link & complete some info in the details field for your spottings.
