Could the yellow and black one be a plant hopper? I have some that color that
come to light.

Subject: [ncsc-moths] Warning--terrible photos!
Please help! My brain hurts . . . .
Photo 1: I did not even realize that I had photographed this moth on June
29. It was in the top left corner of another photo I cropped so I made another
copy and re-cropped it to center on this yellow and black species. I've been
through the book several times and cannot seem to find a match.
Photo 2: Assuming that this was just another "The Beggar Moth"--I snapped a
shot without either climbing up for a better view or pulling the sheet down for
a better view. Sometimes I could kick myself! I don't know if it is even
possible to get an id from this photo.
Photo 3: I was leaning toward Metarranthis . . . .but nothing fits quite
right. I can't seem to find anything with that double white splotch in the
forewing. I see these a lot in the woods in the daytime--never had one come to
the sheet at night--and they NEVER sit still.
Hope you all have a safe and happy 4th of July!
