Thank You J and Cindy for all your help as always :)

Wow, I agree with Petrophila genus. I didn't even know about it :) I sure love learning about new genus and species here on PN! Great job, Reza.

Oh wow! You even found two. Nice series. It didn't have a common name so I used it's genus and put moth behind it. It is in the Crambid Snout line.

Cindy and J....I think nexttogones spotting and Id matches it also....and s does its range...I wonder if it is that Petrophila / Petrophila confusalis http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/162...

Dicymolomia opuntialis, perhaps. The range is spot-on.

Thank you Cindy....wow you are good, I absolutely agree with the Genus but am totally lost as far as species is concerned....I am going to go with your suggestion :)

Hi Reza, great series! Take a look at my suggestion and see what you think. I don't see a match but the genus may be correct. Moths are really tricky!
