2 moths?
Jon, this looks like two different moths.(three shots each) Did you mean to combine them? Please check the dots.
I think that your ID is correct anyway and they might both be females.

Hi Bob
Thanks for checking this out. Here's the info on them: These were all taken the same night at the same location. The first two were taken at 11:25 pm. The 3rd shot was taken at 12:01 am. The next two were taken at 12:38 am. The final shot was taken at 1:45 am.

I was pretty sure they were all the same species.
