Observation notes: Large enough to initially think was a sphinx of some type. Brought to me barely alive (a gift from a barn cat) while cleaning horse barn. Sorry for the poor quality of the specimen.

Coordinator notes: Th pattern perfectly fits Pyralis farinalis. Looking at the other Pyralis farinalis posted on iNaturalist and BugGuide I did come across a few with the green cast which was new to me. Best to post on iNaturalist to see if you get another opinion. You might also look over the photos of underwings found in Wisconsin -- https://www.inaturalist.org/observations?place_id=32&taxon_id=83842&view=species Be sure to post the photo on iNaturalist to get another opinion.
