These moths were found last July, does anybody know what they are?

Location is presumably somewhere in North America?

The orange moth looks like a spiny oakworm moth – see http://www.butterfliesandmoths.org/species/Anisota-stigma for an image.
The yellow moth is a geometrid in the genus Xanthotype – see http://www.butterfliesandmoths.org/species/Xanthotype-sospeta for an example.
