Knudson and Bordelon (1999) list 37 species for the Park.
Most species have a body length around 1 inch. These moths have a thick body and so tend to hold their wings roof-like over their bodies when resting. (Because of this, it is easier to take closeup pictures from the side and focus only on one wing than to take pictures from above.)

Holland (1903) calls this the Blue-green Lichen Moth. Knudson and Bordelon (1999) collected this species from Dog Canyon and indicate that it is part of the fauna from Arizona and New Mexico.
