Thank you. I have been using Peterson's: A Field Guide to Moths 1984 but it does not have a picture of this species. However, it mentions the Common Angle under Promiscuous Angle. So went to web to find a photo.
I just ordered: Peterson Field Guide to Moths of Northeastern North America (Peterson Field Guides) Paperback – April 17, 2012. Do you have any other recommendations for ID books? Living in Texas, this state straddles Eastern and Western species, at least in the avian world.

Susan, I don't know who you were addressing the question to, but I know that Marcia like's Covell's. I have the one that you just ordered which was recommended highly but I do not find many of my species there. Seabrooke Leckie is coming out with a more Western version. I helped with some of her pictures, so I know.

However, I find my moths using the plates here. I find it faster after I got used to it by following their suggestions on the site. Then, I check the BG information page and sometimes go to a book or look up the original description.

Hope that helps.

Thank you A Hendrickson. I am happy for your response on a good Lepidoptera ID book. I will look into the Seabrooke Lekie Western Version as well. Also, I realize so much good info can be had on the Web these days so your recommendations in this regard will serve me well.

Looks good, Marcia.

I am not an expert at moth species and I have been away from the field for many years. Back in the 1980's I relied on photos from Peterson's Guide. Your specimen looks darn close to the one I found but it does not show the 5 spots talked about by Marcia.
