I kept one last week because I liked the definition on the forewings, it turned out to have some orange in the hindwings too. I have a large series of amatrix but hadn't really noticed any orange before either.

Pyrausta signatalis, Spiloloma lunilinata, C nuptialis. The bottom one escaped the trap and landed on a leaf. I got my net and caught it but it's not as nice as it could have been...

I have two for identification. The first, either subnata or neogama, this seems to be a perfect mix of the coloring of my other subnata and neogama so I don't know which it is. Any opinions? And the second, I am thinking may be ilia although this would be the first time I have collected this species (I know crazy). So just let me know if that's right or not. Thanks!

I would have said both were forms of neogama but I'm not sure how to tell subnata. I think there was a hind tibia character that was useful (one flattened and one rounded).
Hindwing of the dark one is too yellow for ilia

The large Black Hindwing Catocala made an appearance in force on Monday night in Kentucky: Catocala dejecta (One male), Catocala epione (Several), Catocala flebilis, Catocala obscura and Catocala angusi/robinsoni. I also collected Catocala subnata, Catocala nebulosi, Catocala neogama. During my trip to Morgan Monroe and Yellowwood State Forests I collected over 60 Catocala moths in five Light Traps. Most were Catocala palaeogama. I did get a very nice female of Catocala connubialis. Also, I collected two small yellow Catocala moths that I could not positively identify. However, for me, the best catch of the trip were about twenty specimens of Sphinx eremitus. I usually get a single specimen every other year.

Can you spread the specimen? It will be easier to identify.

Slightly over 1/2" wingspan, it's tiny. Collected June 20 2018 Cedar County (Northeast)Nebraska. 400w MV light. I snapped that other photo because I thought I might destroy it getting it set, but it came out alright.
