I had these 2 moths on 4/2 and I can't decide if they're Melanolophia canadaria 
or maybe something else. Both are smaller than any canadaria I've seen before 
and the wings are more pointed. The pattern is more extreme than what I'd 
expect but if the photos on MPG are correctly identified, I guess they could 
fit into the expected variation for the species. Maybe a male/female thing?
