Doug, if you have the Hodges number, the easiest way to find the moth on MPG is 
to go to any species page and then replace the number at the end of the URL 
with the Hodges number you're looking for. 

I have the following URL saved as a bookmark so all I need to do is click on 
the link and then add the Hodges number to the end of the address and hit enter.

Hi Kyle,
   First, really have enjoyed looking at your photographs and reading your 
posts from previous months and years.  I lived in the northeast, Schenectady, 
NY, for 30 years.  Where are you at college?
I'm a mothing newbie so my skills are mostly just pattern recognition based on 
the MPG pics which are all out of Hodges sequence for Noctuoidea.  I can't even 
find 9420 on the plates without going to the species plates, so I must be doing 
something wrong.  I can't find anything on MPG or BG closer to your picture 
than Wandering Brocade Moth, but all the pics there and in Peterson show the 
reniform spots as more whitish as you know.  Some of the west coast species are 
pretty close, too.  The chestnut color of your moth and the almost continuous 
dark vertical areas which the AM line passes through are not completely matched 
in any photographs I've found so far.  I'm looking forward to comments from the 
more experienced mothers.
