Have observed both the adults and flower-decorated larvae of this moth in our yard previously (posted here) but this adult with its half-inch wingspan seemed much smaller than the imago I found in previous years. I remember that one being more like a 1" wingspan

What
Calocera corneaObservador
kgivensDescrição
Originally just went with the genus only on this submission, but I'm changing my mind after visiting MushroomExpert.com and also staying in a Holiday Inn Express. Did not do the requisite microscopy to make this ID, sorry. Matched to one of several suggestions offered up by the iNat image engine, based on color, simple- to minimal-branching pattern, overall size (these were around an inch tall) and also range and habitat.
