7214 - Dark-banded Geometer - Ecliptopera atricolorata
... first living moth photo I've seen. You are south of the range given in Covell, but it has been found 30 miles south of where I live in Maryland, and at least 200 miles south of the Catskills (Covell's southern range limit in the east). Anyone who collects or photographs moths for long will generate extensions of known and published ranges.

I made a guide page for you
- congratulations! Nice image, too.

Bob, is there a good online reference for moth tribes? I always have a hard time tracking them down when I'm making new pages.

Hannah, I Really Don't Know....
.... of any really complete source. Tony Thomas would surely know better than I. You might also contact Felix Sperling at the University of Alberta. I had the chance to meet him recently at the Lep. Soc. meeting in Gainesville. He is certainly the researcher most interested in moth phylogeny that I know of.
