Hi all.
Yes, I do believe Harry's moth is F. major. The occur in forms almost black
to green and white with black lines.
Off to check my bait trees.

Harry,
I believe your moth is probably Feralia major, the dark form. Parker posted
a photo of both the dark and green form a week or so ago, so it is flying
now. Apparently NC is right in the middle of the geographic range of the
two forms with the dark form more prevalent to the north and the green more
common in the south.

This moth came to the back side of my sheet last night. I have provided two
photos woth one having more loght added for detail. I am thinking Noctuidae,
but I am not sure of the ID. It somewhat resembles Ulolonche niveiguttata,
10575, but I have no record of that moth in NC. It also somewhat resembles
Feralia major (Major Sallow), 10007 but it is not green enough. I hope
someone will recognize the moth.
