I was not familiar with the Hodges index till Harry mentioned it and I have
noticed the numbers used by others on the listserver. The link below may
already be known by many posters here, but if not I thought you would be
interested in sightings in SC.
It is wonderful that so many species are being found and listed. I don't see
that many here in urban/suburban Charlotte coming to street lights and our
windows. I have had an underwing, small geometers,Pyralidae etc. in our
garden.
SCAN(SC Assn of Naturalists) members have had some outings with lights and
sheets where we have captured some interesting stuff in the upper Piedmont and
mountain foothills of SC

Fellow moth-ers,
Here at last is the list I have put together for North Carolina. I am certain
that it is not perfect, but at least it is reasonably accurate. I think there
are 2060 species included -- by now I don't know if I can do even simple math,
my eyes are so tired. I began with a list of the moths by Hodges number and
supplemented it with information from the Covell guide. I have checked through
the list using Bug Guide to find those whose range appears to include NC. I
have also checked the South Carolina list, and if a moth was reported from a
county bordering NC, I included it. I also included others that were only a
couple of counties away, figuring that they easily could find their way here.
Finally, I looked at the Dalton State (GA) site and added those that were
reported for NC. I am sure that the Great Smoky Mountains National Park list of
lepidoptera, which I do not have access to, would yield even others.
At last I can get back to identifying my photos! One beauty that visited last
night was The Hebrew. What a treat!
