@danswell : can you rear it in captivity to get an adult moth to determine the species ?

Hi @donhe - would love to, but Im not familiar with the technique for doing that (do you have some guidance/reference)?
Secondly, I already let it go.
If I was able to catch another one and was confident in rearing it out, I would.
