Celiptera frustulum
Approximately 1/2 inch long. light brown with dark band near end of the tail. It appears to have one long anntenna and one short, (bit I'm not sure if the short one had broken off.
Found it dead inside the door that goes out to the garden. Can someone identify?
Thanks everyone! Great work!!
Chris, if you like, feel free to update the species and spotting name by clicking "Edit this spotting"
Thanks everyone! based on cross check of your suggestions I concur that it is Celiptera frustulum. Great teamwork!
Looks good! I was obviously fooled by the body shape, which is indeed looking Noctuidae. But looking at the head I should have noticed that it is Erebidae.
Good job, ps4213102!
This is Black Bit Moth (Celiptera frustulum) - compare here https://www.inaturalist.org/observations...
Hi Chris, Welcome to Project Noah! :)
I am going to share this moth spotting in our PN Worldwide Facebook group to help with an identification.
