Gem Moth

Orthonama obstipata

Notes:

Adult is sexually dimorphic: female forewing is dark brown/maroon with a small white ring near the middle of the disc; male forewing is light brown/yellowish with a black spot in place of the female's white ring; both sexes have oblique blackish dash at apex of forewing (which distinguishes The Gem from the Bent-line Carpet) http://bugguide.net/node/view/9628#id
