We don't know if Wagner's increta "beech"
got named in the new fascicle. There were some comments in the Forums about the Acronicta fascicle. We'll take a look and see what we can find.

Looks to be
Acronicta, but unfortunately one of those difficult to pin down, sorry

Indeed very hard to identify
It looks quite similar to the acronicta Modica I reared, but again I could be wrong. If it eats oak, it’s more likely.

Could it be A. increta? I thought it was on elm but maybe it was beech. Many beech in area. also it looked like photo in bugguide file of Acronicta.
