 No one has a complete handle on it, that's when we learn to be humble.

I'm really going to have to learn the wing shapes better!  Every time I think I 
have a handle on them, I find out I don't! Thanks, Rich!

I guess moths have enough sense not to get out on a cold, rainy night! Tonight 
I photographed only 1 and one other was fluttering around so much I couldn't 
tell what it was. The downtime has given me a chance to go through my recent 
photos and do some ID-ing. Last night was very good for all kinds of insects 
(except when I got stung on the temple by a wasp! Fortunately, it was not a bad 
sting.)
 
Here are some of the moths I saw the past couple of nights:
 
8978 Nycteola metaspilella – Forgotten Frigid Owlet Moth 4-30-11
9663 Balsa tristrigella 4-30-11
6273 Speranza pustularia Lesser Maple Spanworm Moth 5-1-11
5672 – Acrobasis exsulella – Cordovan Pyralid Moth 5-1-11
6654 E – Hypagyrtis unipunctata – One-spotted Variant Moth 5-2-11
8322 – Idia americalis – American Idia Moth 5-2-11
0595 – Caloptilia bimaculatella 5-2-11
2481 – Argyresthia thuiella – Arborvitae Leafminer Moth 5-2-11
2795 – Olethreutes tilianum – Basswood Olethreutes Moth 5-2-11
3367 – Ancylis burgessiana – Oak Leaffolder Moth 5-2-11
5510- Pyralis farinalis_Meal Moth 5-2-11
5577 – Epipaschia superatalis – Dimorphic Macalla Moth 5-2-11
6654 E – Hypagyrtis unipunctata – One-spotted Variant Moth 5-2-11  
8351 – Zanclognatha cruralis – Early Zanclognatha Moth_5-2-11
8366 – Tetanolita mynesalis – Smoky Tetanolita Moth 5-2-11
8857 – Catocala ultronia – Ultronia Underwing Moth (maybe) 5-2-11
9065- Leuconycta diphteroides Green Leuconycta 5-2-11
10891 – Ochropleura implecta – Flame-shouldered Dart Moth 5-2-11
 
I found 4 more that I can't figure out. I'm attaching photos. The orange and 
white one could be a UT moth! :) 
I really appreciate the ID help many of you have given me the past few weeks! 
Thanks! 
 
Kris
