Based on Rich Hailey's IDs and some BugGuide affirmation: 4/9/10 Marathyssa basalis 8956 Plagodis fervidaria 6843 Metarranthis obfirmaria 6832 Telphusa longifasciella 1858 Selenia kentaria 6818 Another is Lambdina sp I still need help with this one<http://www.bluemelon.com/photo/12393/491332.jpg>, which has a Eupithecia sp and an intricately striped critter. I really like the Marathyssa, and it was back last night, along with several new moths and the year's first long-horned beetle, a tiny one. A fat, clumsy beetle was flying last night, another foy. And the April firefly! Marathyssa folds its wings like curtains, making them narrow and smaller in profile, and it tucks its hindwing out under the forewing. These are both traits I associate with sphinx moths, along with powerful flight, stiff, long forewings, a thorax big enough to drive those wings and a tendency to curl their abdomen. Obviously, sphinx is not the right name; I just use it because they best exemplify the suite of traits I see in all these moths. I think the Selenia, Metarranthis and their tribe, Anagogini are closer to Bombycoidea than Geometroidea. Also, Marathyssa and the Euteliidae family fit better near Bombycoidea than Noctuoidea. I know I am wrong to call them sphinx moths, but it is no more wrong than incoherent spattering of superfamilies across Lepidoptera ;) I suppose I should also mention that I think Saturniidae belongs in Noctuoidea, not Bombycoidea. They have big, powerful thoraxes, obviously, but they lack the "sphinx" gestalt. Rikki Hall Rockford, Tenn
