Moth I.D.

[Charles Montague]

Last weekend I was on a collecting trip in Eastern Pennsylvania. A
number of Noctuidae, Pyralidae, and geometridae were found. However I
came across a moth I have never seen before.

It was a small white moth about 20 to 25cm in wing span. At rest the
wings were at 90deg to the wall that it was on. Much as a butterfly
would be at rest. Because it was about 2200 hours EDST the possibly of
it being a butterfly was unlikely. The FW and HW were rounded. With no
other markings, ie: black or brown dots.

I will be going back to the same place this weekend, and with any luck
be able to get a better I.D. Can anyone help me on the I.D.
