Bob, thanks for looking at this - I agree now about discoloralis being 8393
– Lascoria ambigualis – Ambiguous Moth.

But the 2nd one P. pyramusalis - doesn't fit L. ambigualis.  I see the
three yellow dots forming a triangle, as it should in this species.  I can
be convinced otherwise, of course.

Thank you!
Jackie

Jackie,

Take a look at 8393, Lascoria ambigualis, as a fit for your moths.

Bob


These moths were a little tough to ID, as they are much more colorful than
any online images I looked at.  Purty!
