BENT-LINE DART & BRONZED CUTWORM

Bent-line Dart moth. A very common fall species, typically found from mid-September through October.

Bronzed Cutworm moth, another very common fall species.

A pair of Bronzed Cutworm moths, showing the variation in color. 

Another Bent-line Dart moth, one of the regular visitors to my lights in fall. 

Bronzed Cutworm moths are abundant in the month of September. I have also found stragglers into early October. 

Bronzed Cutworm moths are variable in color, but they are usually some combination of rosy-pink and/or violet. 

This Bent-line Dart moth is more strongly-marked than most of the individuals I see.
