rose hooktip, ARCHED HOOKTIP, TUFTED thyatirine, and Dogwood Thyatirid

This is an Arched Hooktip moth. I have found a couple of individuals at Hocking Hills (eastern Ohio) in April and May, but I have not yet seen this species at my home lights. 

This is a Tufted Thyatirine moth, photographed at my moth lights on August 27, 2021. It is the only member of its species I have ever seen. 

This is a Rose Hooktip moth. I have found a few individuals at my lights from June through September.  

Rose Hooktip moths can be attracted with UV lights, and I also found one while hiking at Cedar Bog. These moths are convincing dead leaf mimics. They can safely perch atop leaves in plain sight without being noticed by birds. 

This is a Dogwood Thyatirid moth. This is not the greatest photo, but it is my only sighting of the species. Photographed at Hocking Hills on April 16, 2016.
