Jackie,
Your lighter Eufidonia looks like the one I photographed on May 11 and decided,
after spending time looking at the MPG and BugGuide, to list as Eufidonia
notataria. Your darker specimen fits Covell's description for a male and the
lighter one female. Covell also notes that the Powder Moth caterpillar feeds on
white pine. I hope this info helps.
