Merrill,

I agree that the first moth looks to be a Rhyaciona, but it seems to show more 
color than the one that tormented me earlier. Perhaps it is just individual 
variation.

Harry,

Your first photo looks like one of your old friends, Rhyacionia.  I believe the 
other two may be in the genus Pseudexentera.

  Last night I had several FOY moths:
  8992 Nola triquetrana, Three-spotted Nola
  7474 Eupithecia miserulata, Common Eupithecia
  6586 Iridopsis defectaria, Brown-shaded Gray

  I also had some micros that seem to be different than the ones I had earlier, 
and I have attached photos. I had first considered Bidens Borer for 8172, but I 
don't think that is the correct ID. Two others I have considered are Piblema 
strenuana, Ragweed Borer 3172 and Phaneta parmatana, 2937. I am favoring the 
Phaneta but I would like to hear what others think.
