Moved from Blueberry Budworm Moth.

Don Lafontaine thinks this might be A. alternata but does not exclude anchocelioides as a possibility.

Noctuid Moth
Somewhat similar in appearance to the Copper underwing, Amphipyra pyramidoides(?).

As is the case with many of the Noctuid moths, these guys are highly variable yet similar ...cryptic coloration.

I agree with Bob Patterson's comment below (Abagrotis anchocelioides).

As beautiful as so many of these are, Noctuids often give me fits with id's.

Thanks
