Spotted Wide-winged Plume Moth (Platyptilia celidotus)

Description

Plume Moth
There were 2 specimens on the night that came to a night light.
Based on body shape I assume this is a male, and the 1st specimen a female.
While the antennae look the same, the male has less dark banding and much longer wing hair like scales.
