Have you taken a close look at Heliocheilus lupatus? It is illustrated in
Covell Peterson fieldguide to eastern moths, plate 29 fig 4, where it is
listed as Heliothis phloxiphagus; I don't know if the moth photographers
group has a photo or not, anyway, the coloration on the wing is variable,
although the basic pattern is relatively consistant. Good luck. BUCK

I keep having a nagging feeling I’m overlooking the obvious, but I’m not
having any luck identifying these two moths. I’m not even certain they
are the same species. I thought Corn Earworm (Helicoverpa zea – 11068),
but that doesn’t look right and it’s the wrong time of year.
