Am I mistaken in thinking that in addition to the ornamental Silver Poplar have also have Tulip (Yellow) Poplar in Mecklenburg county?

Here are his comments.: "Paul: I am unsure about this moth. It seems too large for Ipimorpha, the most southern records I know of are Ky (listed in Va. but Covell given as reference meaning not caught in recent times) and Ferguson believed it only feeds on poplar or aspen which other than the ornamental silver poplar leaves Mecklenburg County out. I wonder if it could be a late flying Phoberia. Size seems right and the pattern varies all over the place. June is late for it but maybe a stray one delayed by some factor or the photographic date is not right. Need I say it again, if we only had a specimen we could be sure. Best I can do." Hope this helps some. Paul
