ARCIGERA FLOWER MOTH, SKIFF moth, and Dimorphic Tosale

Arcigera Flower Moth. This is a member of the Schinia genus. It is the most common Schinia moth that I see. 

This is a Skiff Moth. The pattern is somewhat reminiscent of an Arcigera Flower Moth, but Skiff Moths belong to a completely different family (the slug caterpillar moths). I have found a few Skiff Moths at my lights, all in the month of July. 

Arcigera Flower Moth. This species flies from mid-August through September. 

Arcigera Flower Moths will come to my lights, and I also see them nectaring on flowers during the day. 

Dimorphic Tosale moth. Again, the pattern looks somewhat reminiscent of the above two species, but Dimorphic Tosale moths are not related to them. 

Another view of a Dimorphic Tosale moth from a different angle. 

Another Dimorphic Tosale moth. I see these moths at my lights from May through August. 

Another Arcigera Flower Moth. This is a very beautiful pink and red individual.
