8574 - Anticarsia gemmatalis - Velvetbean Caterpillar Moth
Sometimes one of the most difficult of the macromoths to identify. A Noctuid that resembles a Geometrid, it comes in 1,000 varieties of colors and markings. It is one of the more common late season moths in the southern USA. Your second photo is also of this species.

Thanks Bob!
I just made the name connection--I use your mothphotographersgroup website all the time to help identify moths. Thanks for all your work!
