Moved
Moved from Frass. I felt pretty good after looking at it some more. Not an outstanding image but not bad either and we have very few and none from Virginia

Frassed
Moved from Moths.

This looks like something in Hypena, possibly H. scabra, but I can't say for sure it's even a Noctuid. Not sure if there's a lot of missing scales or it's just bad reflection but I don't think we'll be able get this ID'd.
