These were collected in a Light Trap in Perry County, IN on 16 May 2012. They are a Heliothis species, but one I have never seen before. This is a very large Heliothis. The specimen above (Only partially visible) is a large Hepialid: Sthenopsis auratus. I have never collected a Heliothis species this far north in May.
The location was in a power line cut with lots of prairie plants and heavy old forest on both sides.
