Lori -

I agree with Merrill on the first moth.  The second moth looks like a very

I've enjoyed keeping up with your collective big year through your blog!

Lori,  your first moth looks like Phoberia atomaris; can't make out enough
detail on photo 2 and haven't had a chance to check out your micros.
