It could also be in the "skipper" category though as well. A popular "skipper" in our area is the little black witch (not the black witch - which is a large moth). Unfortunately I'm not good with the identification of either little brown moths or of "skippers." Here's a picture of a skipper if it helps... I think this one is a color variation of a little black witch (I also have one that is much darker). |
