Thanks, Hugh! This gives me a starting place for wading through photos on MPG.
I wish there was an easier way to ID some of these moths. I really appreciate
the help! I guess it takes a long time to get good at identifications! I just
started doing this last June.

Hi All,
I keep getting kicked off tn & ncsc moths, so forgive my absence every few
days until I figure out how to not get kicked off.
Your second photos looks like it could be Cochylus hoffmanana & your third
photo looks like Retinia, and seems to best fit albicapitana, but I don't
think that species gets as far south as you are.
