I have tentatively identified these three as # 9910 Ashen Pinion (Lithophane antennata). The first was from my home last night (2/19/2011) and the other two were on the education building at Riverbend Park this morning (2/20/2011). Opinions are most welcome! I also had a couple each of Spring and Fall Cankerworms and a beautiful insect that I thought was some sort of antlion. A cursory search of antlions landed me nowhere--but I did stumble across a tan "winter morph" type of Green Lacewing that I believe is the same.
