Nice bugs Bill, and they all look like janetta to me. I sent you a message by the way, did you get it?

Hi Bill,
Very nice display showing high variability of these moths. I have posted all, credited to you, to the S. janetta file on WLSS. Very nice also to have the wingspans, and to know there is a March flight.
