Feel free to suggest additions to this page which you think will help.

Help ID!
Can anyone ID this moth?

Also, how do you add a picture to a comment?

except without the space. The number is the image number found on the upper left of the image

Thank you!
Thank you so much for posting this! I found it through a Google site search after spending 30 minutes lost on bugguide's Cisseps pages...turned out I had a Harrisina, and the Cisseps and Ctenucha pages don't reference that genus as a look-alike.

 
You're welcome!
We're waiting for BugGuide 2.0 to come online to see what features it might have and how we could better use these collections of images. Ideally there would be a moths section under an FAQ tab that would contain these collections and make them editable by any of the editors. This current format is hard to find and hard to use.

 
Not so hard to find
Start at the Moths info page.

Not sure what it is yet

 
it is a brown try moth
it is a brown try moth

Black Moth
For black moths, how about Urodus parvula?

Maple Callus Borer

how about the SVB?

More yellow moths

Also see Stiria
...and this one, when it gets an ID:

new yellow and brown moth
here. No ID yet.

Xanthotype (Crocus Geometer)
Hi...I would just like to suggest adding the Crocus Geometer (Xanthotype) to the "Yellow/Brown Moths". I was trying to ID it on my own the other day, but couldn't because I did not see it here. (although I must say I was impressed at how fast my pic got ID'd after I posted it)

 
moth
i posted a yellow/ black moth the id list is that this bug????

Very Hellpful List
This is very handy and I used it today. Could you add this moth http://bugguide.net/node/view/192586 to Black Moths or Strikely Colored Moths? Where ever you think it would best fit. Thanks.

Possible Addition
How about adding Lycomorpha pholus? You might want to have the Pyromorpha dimidiata link headed to http://bugguide.net/node/view/18514 because it includes information on distinguishing these 2 species.

 
ok, done
ok, done

Anchor
I think that it might help me if you added an anchor right before "Yellow/Brown". I have already added the change to my article.
Just add the line below, I think that it will work. Fingers crossed.
<a id="YellowBrown"></a>

 
does <a id="Yellowbrown"></a> work?
the correct way to do it is <a name="Yellowbrown"></a>

 
ok
done - tried it - it's nice!

Yellow Brown
Maybe the Large Maple Spanworm, although it's quite variable.

Orange Black
How about the Orange-patched Smoky, the Peachtree Borer, and I guess the squash vine borer?

 
Thanks
all added

 
What does
finding a doctor have anything to do with Black or Yellow/brown moths??

 
Nothing
That's why the message has been removed. It probably was posted by an automated program, so replying was no doubt a waste of time.
