Thank you so much, PhilipBarnette, you identified 2 of the Moth, I thought they would be in the unidentified files. Would you be so kind to take a look at this other Moth, it is so beautiful but it has not been ID yet..... : ( http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/211616016

I don't know the common name. I think it looks a bit like Santa (with the beard), and so I lovingly know it as the Santa Claus moth. http://boldsystems.org/index.php/TaxBrowser_TaxonPage?taxid=246454
