This one's also a male, and the other is a female. :)

The only 2 possibilities for these in North Carolina are Grammia virgo and Grammia parehtnice. Parthenice is slightly smaller than virgo, flies later in the year, and lacks one of the large black spots in the center of the hindwings. Unfortunately, the forewing patterns are identical, so IDing them based on photos with the wings closed is tough. Based on the nice condition on such a late date and the small amout of the hindwing that is showing, I'd call this one parthenice, with about 80% confidence. Seeing as females generally emerge later than males, the ratty female in the other photo may well be a tattered virgo left over from an earlier brood. It could also be a bright, fresh parthenice that just got trampled. I wouldn't feel comfortable settling on an ID on her without seeing the center of the hindwings (though if I had to guess, I'd pick parthenice over virgo from what is visible). If you have a shot showing more of the hindwings on this one, that would make the ID very easy...

Paul,
In the other photo, does that look like the female's eggs on the ground? Whatever it is, I'm thinking it may be related to her demise, assuming she was dead when the photo was taken. Thanks

Thanks to both of you for the time you spent on this. Unfortunately, I don't have any other good photos of this moth so I cannot provide you with a view that would allow the definitive ID.
