Ovate Dagger Moth - Acronicta ovata

Acronicta

I took another look at this and matched it as species, Acronicta ovata. Nice addition.

Moved from Dagger Moths.

Dagger Moth -- Acronicta sp.

... in the 9243-9251 group of species. The photo appears to be a little too rough/grainy to allow (at least by me) for precise identification.

Agreed

Even with the grainy picture, I'd say it's a good match for Acronicta increta, # 9249 the Raspberry Bud Dagger moth. There's a good comparison photo here on MPG, and another here on Larry Line's site.
