Noctuidae: Raphia frater? - Raphia frater - male

Noctuidae: Raphia frater? - Raphia frater - Male
Turtle River State Park, Grand Forks County, North Dakota, USA
June 26, 2012
Size: Length ~ 2 cm
This version of The Brother Moth (9193) is lighter than the specimen I collected at the same location in mid-May (see thumb photo below). Hmmm...if this is not the pattern of wear, then we may have two morphological types of this species in our area. This specimen was collected and is archived in the NDSIRC at NDSU, Fargo, North Dakota (contact Dr. Gerald Fauske).
