thread with some moths from last night (1/7)
(please don& #39;t be shy about correcting mis-IDs, I& #39;m a moth newbie and appreciate all the help i can get!)
first, this one was so cute and subtly colorful! i love the feathery antennae.
think it& #39;s Orange Wing (Mellilla xanthometata)

next up, another colorful moth -- love that yellow/pink combination. believe it is Chickweed Geometer Moth, Haematopis grataria (2/7)
next, bad photo but adorable: HUGE black eyes and pointy snout. appropriately called Black Snout (also Green Cloverworm Moth), Hypena scabra (3/7)
best for last? I believe this is some kind of tiger moth, probably Virginian Tiger Moth (Spilosoma virginica? 7/7
