Hello Suzanne (and all),

Jim Edsall has provided information on the differences between the two =
moths.  I would just add that, while the Rosy Maple Moth (Dryocampa =
rubicunda) often come to a porch lamp (or moth lamp and sheet) in =
numbers at night, I have never had an Evening Primrose Moth (Shinia =
florida) come to lights.  If you wish to see one, check the flowers of =
Evening Primrose during the day and you will often find a moth with its =
head pushed into the center or the partially closed flower.  Here are a =
couple of photos to illustrate what I mean.
