This gray and black mottled moth is about 5/8th inches long, with its wings folded tent-like over its abdomen. It also has what seems to be a tuft of hair over its head. It was photographed at night with the help of strong lights and a white sheet. It was identified with the help of David Reed and other images in BugGuide.
The abundance of this moth in our two nature centers is yet unknown.
