Hey everyone,

Had a good number of new moths for the season on the sheets so far, and even 
had some lifers: Waterlily Leafcutter Moth, 4755 and White-dotted Groundling, 
9690. 4755 and 6832 were also firsts for Falls Lake, and 6832 (colored in red) 
was seen at Sandling Beach. I have attached several pictures, including one of 
a moth that I would like to have some input with. I believe I have narrowed it 
down to two species but want some opinions. Thanks!
Below is my list of new species over the past few days:

Moths:
0462 Philonome clemensella- 1
0559 Crowned Bucculatrix- 1
1221 Holcocera immaculella- 1
2198 Red-striped Fireworm Moth- 1     LIFER       Image #2
2227 Battaristis nigratomella- 1
2288 Many-spotted Dichomeris-1                                Image #3
4755 Waterlily Leafcutter Moth- 1 male, LIFER    Image #1
5431 Fissicrambus profanellus- 1
6654 One-spotted Variant
6832 Yellow-washed Metarranthis- 1 LIFER  SB   Image #5
9690 White-dotted Groundling- 1   LIFER              Image #4
9886.x Lithophane near patefacta- 1
 

Planthoppers:
Cixius basalis

Happy mothing,
Kyle

P.S. The moth I thought was an Arrowhead Moth on my last post is actually a 
Shagbark Hickory Leafroller Moth, 3246
