It's odd, because some are best IDed using verso and others recto. Each species similar to another species requires its own set of things to look for. Many r easy and some r tough. These remarks only apply to those two species.....subnata and neogama. 14 species is a good year mothman27. I got quite a few species this year, but my marmorata took the prize and made my year. I did enjoy hooking up with a bunch of carissima as well. I really did not count how many species, but I did ok.

Nice to see younger collectors and Catocala-lovers. Keep it up mothman27.

These two species are on the tough side to ID. My usual method is to focus on the verso side. The recto is harder, for some of each species can be marked more lightly or with more patterning. For example, neogama usually has a darker basal coloring right near the thorax, but that is not always the case. I use three factors with the verso side to ID these guys. And.....I'll say right now that others may have different takes on this. The green remarks are for recto and are much less consistent. I use the word 'often' as there are times when the FW ocelli markings, for example, are rather pronounced with subnata. Often is meant to suggest typical, commonly, or generally. View AttachmentJust to reinforce what Bill has stated, here are two examples from my collection. The one on top is Catocala neogama, and the bottom one is Catocala subnata. These two examples shown side by side illustrate a rather stark difference, but there are lighter C. neogamas, and slightly darker colored C. subnatas. This is where collecting gets both interesting and frustrating.

nice... my sister and her husband brew beer and I wanted to do a beer called "Catocala Bait". But what beer recipe will utilize bait ingredients and still be good for humans to drink? I have the fermenting sugars covered.

People make persimmon beer. They can be used as bait. My MIL makes persimmon cookies.
