Meskea dyspteria Infests Cow Barn

Once in a while. Dr. Holland’s (deceased) book, The Moth Book, can come in really handy. Like Crumby was fixing to espy all the moth (muth) images on Bugguide in a vain attempt to identify this curious vermin. But that was too much even for the frenetic Ovate. No sir. I shall not go through all these dang guide pages. I shall resort to Dr. Holland.


Sure enough, the only moth with wings like this one is this one. All the enormous rest look way different. And Dr. Holland knew that. Which is why the picture in his book looks, in general, with regard to the shape of the wings, like this here picture.
