--001a11c3e8801c9ab104e0d43580 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 The following moths were attracted to the outside lights at E Dalhousie, Kings Co. I have browsed a few websites such as Bev Wigney's and made tentative IDs. Please correct and, if possible, indicate to which family they belong. I find this can help for future identifications and to find out more about them. These two moths were very hard to focus on. Point-and-shoot cameras (an iPhone in my case) have a hard time deciding what to focus on when a screen is behind the moth and continually zeroes in and out. 1. A Tussock moth (Lymantriidae), possibly the Black Letter Dart Moth (Xestia dolosa)? http://www.flickr.com/photos/92981528@N08/9217592964/ 2. This patterned one is probably from the big family Geometridaw. You could see how well it would blend in with bark. Homoclodes?: http://www.flickr.com/photos/92981528@N08/9214820941/ 3. Washed in on the lakeshore but still alive was this dishevelled moth. It resembles the Milkweed Tiger Moth (Euchaetias egle) in the family Arctiidae:in the Audubon guide: http://www.flickr.com/photos/92981528@N08/9214812735/ A few more moth ids will follow later.
