Merrill, looking at the BugGuide photos I do see a lot of similarity of my moth
to R. rigidana. Thanks for the tip.

Harry, that might Rhyacionia rigidana, based on the yellowish bands near the
forewing apex; that is one of the distinguishing marks according to Forbes
(1923) Lepidoptera of New York-micro volume.

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.
