As you can see, I am quite unreliable when it comes to litter moths! :) Nice job, Ian!

Thanks again Ian! I'm surprised to see that this is another moth with no reported sightings in Middle TN as this species is a regular at my porch light.

Yes, a Litter moth so the same family as idia. An identifier for Smoky Tetanolita moth is the row of white dots that is the subterminal line.
