Thoughtful Apamea
Apamea cogitata

Observation date: July 08, 2019
Date notes: 65 F and smokey
Submitted by: RobertWeeden
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: Pretty worn individual but...suggestion based on rich, chocolate color and the fine, zigzagging pale line along the wing just in from the outside edge. I did not get a measurement but would guess about 35-40 mm WS. Moth was inside, battering itself against the window.
