Lori -

The shine is obscuring a little of the wing pattern but from what I can tell
they are likely both P. denticulata.

Good mothing.

I've been looking at these two photos all day!  Both individuals were seen
this morning.  I think the first (photo 8458) is Phigalia strigataria.  I'm
leaning toward P. denticulata for the second photo (photo 8462).  Any
opinions would be welcome!
