That's the main one that I've been looking at but I don't have the confidence to call it so I'm hoping someone with more experience can give a hand. If that's it, MPG could use some shots of a living specimen and I just happen to know someone that can supply them. :-) Ken Childs Henderson, TN Chester County http://tinyurl.com/Kens-Moths-2011 http://www.finishflagfarms.com ________________________________ From: Robert Perkins <perkybear@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: ncsc-moths@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Sunday, June 26, 2011 10:42 AM Subject: [ncsc-moths] Re: Tort help needed Ken, I recommend taking a careful look at Hodges #3194.1. I flipped your first image upside down to match the pinned specimens and tried, imperfectly, to compare your image with the MPG one.
