Excellent!
I have been meaning to tell you how much I enjoy your superb photography and all the valuable information. You seem to know so much about moths! Perhaps you can help Bugguide with your expertise. We have about 240 unidentified moths in this pages and I suspect that most of them could be placed into a family or even a genus if not a species. The guide would look a lot better that way. If you can go over them and add your comments, one of the editors would move them to the correct place. Thank you in advance.

Unidentified Moths
Janice J. Stiefel Hi, Beatriz! I took some time this afternoon to look at the unidentified moths. I was surprised how many there are. I took a chance on a few, comparing them with photos in my data base that have been positively identified. I have found some moths to be quite variable in their markings. I will try to check more of the unidentifieds as time permits. Thanks for the proding. Actually, it was exciting and brightened a dark, gloomy winter day in Northeast Wisconsin.
