I should have kept reading through the e-mails. Upon further consideration
I would agree with Ali on the ID.
Ali, where did you run across the female Alsophilas? I've read that they,
too, are attacted to light but that'd take a lot of work, getting from
wherever they hang out (I'm guessing they don't gravitate toward peoples'
decks and porches) to a lighted wall. I'd really like to see one of the
females.

Yeah, the wingless Fall Cankerworms are pretty crazy, came across a few last
week. Try Fall Armyworm for your moth though, the shape and markings seem to
be correct.

Ali, For some reason I didn't get any Alsophila last year , although I'm
getting quite a few this year. Anyway, since I'm not that familiar with them
, I checked out Female Cankerworm on Bugguide and found it to be a wingless
moth . You should definitely check it out so you're familiar with it if you
come across one. I would never have recognized it as a moth . Paul
