Hi Doug,
Thank you so much! Glad you have enjoyed my posts. I'm going to college at
Dartmouth.
I think Wandering Brocade is the best choice, but Adorable Brocade is also very
similar.
Kyle

Hi Kyle,
First, really have enjoyed looking at your photographs and reading your
posts from previous months and years. I lived in the northeast, Schenectady,
NY, for 30 years. Where are you at college?
I'm a mothing newbie so my skills are mostly just pattern recognition based on
the MPG pics which are all out of Hodges sequence for Noctuoidea. I can't even
find 9420 on the plates without going to the species plates, so I must be doing
something wrong. I can't find anything on MPG or BG closer to your picture
than Wandering Brocade Moth, but all the pics there and in Peterson show the
reniform spots as more whitish as you know. Some of the west coast species are
pretty close, too. The chestnut color of your moth and the almost continuous
dark vertical areas which the AM line passes through are not completely matched
in any photographs I've found so far. I'm looking forward to comments from the
more experienced mothers.
