Hello!
Yesterday in the evening, I placed moth trap in my backyard, some of best looking moths I founded are here on pictures, I thought I will be lucky and catch elephant hawk-moth, but nothing.
I placed trap on tree at height about 160cm, and i have one question, does bigger moths fly higher? And please help me ID those moths on pictures.
The first one looks like a noctuid – haven’t been able to pin it down to species…
The second one is a noctuid; looks like Deltote bankiana - see https://heidelandschaft.files.wordpress.com/2012/10/r1022418-1.jpg
The first third looks like a tortricidid – haven’t been able to pin it down to species yet either…
The fourth one is in the family Erebidae (formerly part of Noctuidae) and the genus Dysgonia - see http://www.ukmoths.org.uk/images/2460D_algiraRB.jpg
Thank you, I appreciate your help very much!
Update = One possibility for the first one is the noctuid Mythimna turca - see http://www.pyrgus.de/bilder1/noctuidae/turca_3f2010.jpg
The tortricid appears to be Epiblema foenella, known as the white-footed bell - see http://www.cebe.be/upload/inventaires/epiblema_foenella_01.jpg
Thank you!!! :DD
Regards!
Does anyone know what species of moth this is? Northern Illinois.
