Had thousands of these in my pecans and also the adjacent coastal fields. This years crop looks like it has been desiccated. Will you ID the attached?

Expert Response

Since my expertise is in horticulture rather than entomology, I don't know the identity of that moth, but can confirm that it is not one of the most common pests of pecan nuts and/or foliage. If you wish to pursue its identity this website should be helpful: https://askanentomologist.tamu.edu/
