Noctuidae - Parallelia bistriaris
Stafford, Stafford County, Virginia, USA
July 29, 2005
It has to be in Noctuidae but trying to narrow it down to which one has me stumped so I decided it just might be a Woodland Chocolate Moth-Argyrostrotis sylvarum. What else could it be? :) How far off am I on this one? Help!

Maple Looper Moth, perhaps
I'll defer to the more experienced - I'm a moth novice, but enjoying my first summer photographing and IDing. Similar moths have been appearing at my local haunt - I've settled on Hodge#08727 - Maple Looper Moth (Parallelia bistriaris) in family Noctuidae.
