Ali,
It looks like a Coastal Plain Meganola to me, as I compared your photo to one
on Bug Guide. I have found that many of the moths that Mark Dreiling
photographs in Oklahoma are also present in North Carolina, so I would not be
surprised to find this one here. And before sending my response I Googled the
species and found it reported from Fort Macon State Park in 2006 --
http://149.168.1.196/nrid/pubParkMG.php?majorGroup=INSECT-MOTH&park=FOMA. But
so far, that is the only other NC location that I can find, and yours appears
to be the first for the Triangle. By searching today I have also found records
of it in FL, GA, IL and KY. Good find!

Hi all,
I have been mothing every night, but hadn't had a chance to ID them yet.
Luckily, I was off from school Thursday and Friday, so I spend both days
identifying over 200 photos. Here is what have had in the past 2 wks. Also, I
think I had a Coastal Plain Meganola Moth, number 8983.1. This would be first
for the state, so would appreciate any confirmation on it.
Thanks
