Forgotten Frigid Owlet, Slowpoke, Cadbury's Mystique, feeble grass moth, and Grease Moth
Slowpoke Moth. Unlike the species above, these moths are very common at my UV lights.
Feeble Grass Moth. I have found a few individuals at my lights from May through August.
Another Feeble Grass Moth at my lights.
Slowpoke Moths definitely do NOT live up to their name. I have found them to be very wary and flighty when disturbed.
Another Slowpoke Moth. Notice the four small white dots forming a square around the reniform spot on each wing.
Slowpoke Moths have multiple broods. I find them in April and May, and also from August through early October.
Grease Moth, photographed on August 11, 2023. These moths are found all around the world (possibly an introduced species in North America).
Forgotten Frigid Owlet. I wonder what this poor little moth did to deserve such a name. Both forgotten and frigid! And these moths are uncommon as well. This is the only one I have seen at my lights. Photographed June 12, 2024.
Cadbury's Lichen Moth (also known as the Cadbury's Mystique). Photographed May 13, 2018 at Hocking Hills. I have not yet found this species at my home lights.
Another Grease Moth, photographed on July 10, 2024. These are my only two sightings of the species.
