Good morning Dave, Ken

I did look at 10942.1- Xestia dolosa- Greater Black-letter Dart for a long
time, but decided against it, one of the reasons is my moths' lack of
coloration.

Now Xestia normanianus is it!  I knew I'd feel like a fool for passing right
by it.  Thanks, Ken and Dave.

the only progress I've made with this moth is to realize that all 4 are the
same moth.  But which one?  I've been through the Armyworms, Darts.  Any
help appreciated.  It is very distinctive looking with regards to its
markings, so I don't know how I could have missed it.
