The DNA or Genitalia Crowd

As prophesied, Ray was drawn to the lights of the barn on March 9.  However, few moths appeared.  Of those moths (muths) that did appear. only this moth was fairly big, an important interest generating criteria for a moth picture.  Alas, this particular moth may be a card carrying member of the Eupithecini.  And Ray, after espying or maybe glancing at all the Eupithecini on Bugguide, concluded that this particular moth is not present among all those others.  But Ray was too embarrassed to submit this image because Ray feels like he has come hat in hand to often to Bugguide lately.  Yet this moth could be lurking among all the others, only waiting for a responsible party to successfully pair this image with another already ensconced among the Bugguide Eupithecini. 

Or,  this particular moth may not be among those Eupithecini depicted.  And, it might be a new to Bugguide Eupithecini. Or, it may not be a Eupithecini at all.  And even if it is a Eupithecini,  the picture may not suffice for its identification, which might require its DNA or genitalia.  Mercy!

Whatever,  it is a cuter than average moth.
