Thanks, Richard and Buck. I apologize for taking so long to get back to these
two moths.
Richard: I think you are correct – at least, those are the IDs I’m going with.
Buck: When I initially came across photos of Heliocheilus lupatus, I thought
I’d found a ID, but the sightings records on BugGuide show it to be a fall moth.
Thank y’all.

Marvin I believe one is a (top) 10487 Ruby Quaker (Orthosia rubescens) and the
other one is 10495 10495 Speckled Green Fruitworm Moth (Orthosia hibisci).

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.
