Dusky Groundling moth, a very common species at my moth lights. 

Cloaked Marvel. Note the white dots at the end of the black  streaks. 

Another Cloaked Marvel. I have found a few individuals at my lights from May through August. Larvae feed on mushrooms. 

Another Grateful Midget moth, more faded than the individual above. 

Dusky Groundlings show up at my lights every month from April through September. 

Common Fungus Moth. They have visited my lights a couple of times, from June through August.
