PROMINENT MOTHS

Another Double-toothed Prominent. I have found several individuals at my lights in April and May, and also one in August. 

Oval-based Prominent. This species is very common at my moth lights. 

Georgian Prominent moth, photographed at Hocking Hills. I have not yet found this species at my home lights. 

Chocolate Prominent moth, found May 12, 2018 at Hocking Hills (eastern Ohio). I have not yet found this moth at my home lights, but it was a neat find for a chocoholic like me!
