MothsBlack-Bordered Lemon?
Dear Bugman:
We found a few of these guys (?) in our garden last week. This one was sitting on a "Toad Lily" in our pond. The moth is about 20 mm long. We live in Albuquerque, NM at 5800′. This looks like the Black-Bordered Lemon (Thioptera nigrofimbria) pics I have seenon the web, but it’s rust-orange color is unique.

Hi Jim,
This is a Lichen Moth in the genus Lycomorpha. The closest match we can find is Lycomorpha grotei.
