White Spots - Trichoplusia ni

White Spots - Trichoplusia ni
Norman, Cleveland County, Oklahoma, USA
September 17, 2008
Seen in early morning on the side of a building. I've looked for a while, but couldn't find this one. Any ideas?

Moved
Moved from Syngrapha.

I think it is Trichoplusia ni
I think it is Trichoplusia ni (Hodges' # 8887)

 
Thanks again!
Thank you both for all your comments, this has been quite a confusing one.

 
Ni Moth
Lovely. I hoped someone would straighten this out. This works for the locale too.

Syngrapha
This certainly looks like Syngrapha and may be Syngrapha octoscripta (Hodges 8926) although S. interrogationis and S. alias also ought to be considered.

 
Thank you!
Thanks for your help! It would be neat to figure out which one it is for sure. Is Syngrapha octoscripta primarily a more northern species? Or can it come to places like OK?

 
Syngrapha
I've not heard of this one being South of Wisconsin, Ohio & New Jersey, but I suppose it is possible. However, the other two I mentioned I think are even less likely to be in your area. Perhaps you should move this to the Genus page for Syngrapha and hope others will comment.
