Miscellaneous Moths from Plate 6
Waterlily Borer Moth. This individual is a male. Females (below) look completely different.
Dimorphic Macalla. I have found a couple of these moths at my lights in June and July.
Dyspyralis nigellus. These small dark moths look very similar to Idia moths. This is my only sighting (July 24, 2017).
Female Waterlily Borer Moth. I photographed this pair of moths in Adams County (southern Ohio) on July 24, 2022. I have not yet found this species at my home lights.
Waterlily Leafcutter Moth. I find these moths at my home lights from May through September. They eat a wide variety of aquatic plants besides waterlilies.
Maple Webworm. I find these moths at my lights from May through August.
Aspen Webworm, much less common at my lights than their Maple Webworm cousins (above). I have seen a couple of Aspen Webworms, from May through August.
Yellow-lined Owlet, photographed at Hocking Hills (eastern Ohio) on May 12, 2018. This is my only sighting of the species.
