Need help with Noctuid moth

[Pierre Zagatti]

Dear BillandAl,

Your moth seems to be Glyphodes sibillalis Walker (Lep. Pyralidae Pyraustinae).
It is illustrated in Kimball's Lepidoptera of Florida (1963), which reports
Morus rubra as host plant.

I can send you a picture of a pinned moth if you want.
