Black-banded Brocade
Oligia modica

Observation date: July 23, 2020
Submitted by: dawittrock2231
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: Near a floodlight on my deck. Looked at this one a long time, iNaturalist's first option was Oligia modica, what do you think? It seems the dark band is too wide across the entirety of the wing. Not sure if I ever submitted it, couldn't find it here. I can't find a photo of modica with the wings spread like this.
