I finally found the moth that has been stumping Jean and Diana (and me too, 
lately)! This was such a hyper moth I had to catch it and chill it to take a 
photo. It is called a Spotted Straw Moth #1107 Heliocheilus lupatus. I first 
found it in the Noctuids on MPG, then confirmed it on Bugguide. Here is the 
link on Bugguide:

I noticed on Bugguide the Hodges number ends in ".1", do we need to use those 
decimals in our designations?
