black moth - top - Euxoa velleripennis
Ailsa Craig, Middlesex, Ontario, Canada
September 9, 2005
Came to garage light. I think it's one of the two species shown here. Haven't seen it since.

Update 14 Jan 2006: identified as Euxoa velleripennis; see comments under the other image of this specimen, and the characteristics that distinguish it from similar species on the Guide page.
