    The white walls of Owlet Lodge are a moth magnet, and these are the species that I managed to identify, among the many more that I saw in two days there! Posted 2 years ago

      I know you prefer to identify before posting, but a few of us here might be able to help with the ID if you get stuck. Just saying :) Posted 2 years ago

        OK, here are two ornate ones that I'd love to put names to, if something wants to take a crack at them :)

          Looks like Christine already offered some excellent help. If not done already, highly recommend to install the "Leps by fieldguide" app, it rocks. Posted 2 years ago
