Glad to help. Moths are not that easy to I.D. daggers, darts, wainscotts
and not counting all the smaller ones that have Hodges # 3800 and under.
I agree with you on the names of moths some are really strange, like some
of the underwings. It seems like you could have a wedding or a funeral with
them. Eddie

Eddie,
I had looked at that one on MPG and thought it looked like mine, but I guess
I was resisting the idea of having a "retarded" moth! The people who named
those moths sure had a weird sense of humor! Ha! Audrey wrote this morning and
said she had seen the same moth last night in Knoxville. I appreciate your
"second opinion", I'm just glad you don't charge! :)

You are right about a tough family to I.D. Look at 9251 – Acronicta
retardata photo by Jason Dombroskie retarded dagger. I believe by looking at
the bottom of the wings and other patterns of the wings that this moth might be
closer to yours. Eddie

Eddie, I need your help again! I found this moth tonight, I think I have it
ID'd to the genus, but I'm not sure about the species (so many of these look
alike!). I think it may be this one I found on MPG:

However, there were a couple of others that look very similar. I guess I
should wait until the next day to ID the moths, it can be difficult to do at
night when I'm tired! Thanks! :)
Kris
