I consider you an expert... and value your opinion. That's how I learn.
Here are pix of the ones in question. You can tell I'm getting down to the
really tough ones. I couldn't find any other species that worked.
I would love suggestions.....Jean

Jean,
I'm no expert but you might want to double-check your July Lithophanes. Most
species in that genus do not emerge until late fall and are classic "winter"
moths, flying on warm winter nights. All of the Lithophanes I've seen in
Watauga County fit that pattern.
