Homaledra species-two
Fully developed wings = Adult
The antennae are longer than the wings.

Yes
You have a few options for checking out location information. There may be more options that other people use.
1) - You can select the Data-tab at any taxonomy level in the guide, for customized advanced searches in any state or month, for any posted data under that level.
2) - For Moth IDs, MPG has comparison plates of most species. At the top of each plate, you can select the state by clicking "View by Region" or you can switch it back to all of North America.
3) - BOLD Systems has some specimen information listed under the "Public Data" button.
4) - Florida has several universities with some entomology based information. see here: Featured Creatures

Great
I now use the UF sight, some. To me searching butterflies and dragonflies are easier than moths. Good help Bob.
