    The photo is a bit blurry but this guy showed up in my green room yesterday. Anyone know what type it could be? I know zero about moths but was curious as to what type of this could be. Its' size is about 5/16 of an inch.

    Thanks in advance,
    Kerry

    Oh yes that would probably be helpful. I am in south eastern Illinois, USA.

    Thanks,

    I was able to get this picture the next night that is a little bit clearer and shows more of its markings.

    Thanks,
