No problem! It is just "kind of" bell-shaped :P Posted 7 years ago

    Oh, and it seems it may have that "W" shaped AM line! Maybe I'm just imagining it? https://bugguide.net/node/view/725243 Posted 7 years ago

Saw this species for the first time on July 5 this year and it has been showing up almost every night this month. Posted 7 years ago

  Cool! I have seen them each night this week so far. Some are in better condition than others. Posted 7 years ago

    They get a little worn out after a while. Two were at my porch lights last night. Temperatures were in the 40s so not many moths showed up but three of them look like new ones. Posted 7 years ago

      That's pretty cold for July, no? We've had rain all week and the nights have been so humid that my lens fogs up when I am photographing the moths. Posted 7 years ago

        That's pretty humid. Early July was hot and humid here but now the evening lows are in the 50s and not so humid. Posted 7 years ago

        That sounds like pretty nice weather. It's not usually so humid here, but it's been really stormy and humidity has been in the 90%+ range. Posted 7 years ago
