A Fortnight of Night Moths

I have been amazed by the number and variety of moths that have visited our outdoor garage light over the last few weeks.  Here are a few of the ones I was able to "capture" -- numerous others got away before I could get a photograph.  What amazing colors and patterns...

Banded Tussock Moth (Halysidota tessellaris)



Green Leuconycta Moth (Leuconycta dipheroides)



Harnessed Tiger Moth (Apantesis phalerata)



Pearly Wood Nymph Moth (Eudryas unio)



Rosy Maple Moth (Dryocampa rubicunda)



Three-spotted Fillip Moth (Heterophleps triguttaria)



Virginia Ctenuchid Moth (Ctenucha virginica)
