VARIOUS GREEN MOTHS
Another Marbled-green Leuconycta moth. This species visits my moth lights from May through August. I often find them flying at the same time as their cousins, the Green Leuconycta moths.
Green Leuconycta moth. Don't ask me how to pronounce that name, because I have no idea, but these moths sure are gorgeous!
The Scribbler Moth, photographed April 16, 2016, at Hocking Hills. I have never seen this moth in our area. They usually fly in the month of April.
Comstock's Sallow. I found this beautiful minty-green moth at Hockings Hills on May 12, 2018. I have never seen them at my home moth lights.
Implicit Arches. I look forward to seeing these beautiful green moths every fall. They are common visitors to my UV lights.
Marbled-green Leuconycta moth. These moths have more brown in their wing pattern than the Green Leuconycta moths above. Marbled-green Leuconycta moths remind me of mint chocolate ice cream.

Last but not least, here is a Green Marvel Moth. I have found a couple of these at my home moth lights in April, July, and August. I also found one at Cox Arboretum.
This moth is an Explicit Arches, the only one I have ever found. Photographed April 28, 2024. Note the brown shading on the upper portion of the wings.
This Green Marvel moth is trying to blend in with the lichen on this log. Green Marvels are wonderful lichen mimics.
