Waterlily Borer Moth. This male was found in Michigan, but all of the other moths below were photographed in Ohio.
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).

Waterlily Leafcutter Moth. I find these moths at my home lights from May through September.
Maple Webworm. I find these moths at my lights from May through August.
Aspen Webworm. They are 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.
Maple Webworm. This one was found in Adams County, Ohio, but they come to my home lights as well.
Another Waterlily Leafcutter Moth. They also eat a wide variety of aquatic plants besides waterlilies.
Another female Waterlily Borer Moth. Females are not as strongly marked as the males. This one was photographed at my home moth lights. I have found a couple of Waterlily Borers at my home lights from June through September.
Waterlily Borer Moth. This is another male, photographed in Adams County, Ohio. Females (below) look completely different.
