 Tosale oviplagalis - Hodges#5556 | My first new moth of 2020. This species is sexually dimorphic with males being brownish and having elongated scales at the tip of their abdomen, whereas females have a similar pattern in shades of gray. This moth often perches with abdomen arched upward, wings pushed down. I found this one at our porch light.
