Moths

We actually had some good moths the other night including the afore mentioned Psychedelic Jones:


Which is only eight millimeters or so long.

The Primrose Moth, which is more than twice as large.


And Peck's Pug Moth.


The current go to field guide for Moths is Peterson's Field Guide to Moths of Northeastern North America. This very good guide doesn't have entries for the first or last of these three, indicating the rarity thereof. I hope it has entries for the remaining moths I've yet to identify ...
