moth larvae and eggs Juneau, Alaska, USA September 9, 2024
I noticed these eggs at the top of a beach rye plant in Juneau and put the plant top in a terrarium. The eggs hatched on September 9. They appeared to be from a Owlet moth (Noctuidae). I would really appreciate verification and the lowest taxon.
