18 April 2009. Morgan County, Frozen Head State Park. 

There were several moths at my porch light this evening. Here are three that I 
put a name to:

Hollow-spotted Plagodis  (Plagodis alcoolaria)- First Park Record, Possible 
County Record, BAMONA State Record.

Tulip-tree Beauty (Epimecis hortaria)- Previously established in the park, 
BAMONA State Record. Seem to be pretty common in the park at least around my 
porch light.

Polyphemus moth (Antheraea polyphemus)- FOY. Previously established in the 
park, looks like a BAMONA county record.
