This landed on the desk while I was on the computer, so I took its picture. It's smaller than a dime. I can't find it...there are an awful lot of similar ones, like the False Underwing (Allotria elonympha) and some Quakers, etc., but nothing I see is quite like this, so far. Any ideas?

That's gotta be it. Yay! My friend's 'puter won't let me see that link, but I found lots of others that look just like it.
After I thought it might be the False Underwing, I looked around for it to see if it had color on the hind wings... I found it dried up in one of those torchiere style floor lamps, you know, like a funnel on a pole with a lightbulb in it. Lots of critters in there.
Thanks a lot, 'fly girl!
