    Hello all,

    Here are 3 pictures of a Noctuidae I took in Quebec (near Vermont) last April 8th, 2010.

    Could it be Copivaleria grotei???

    Thank you very much for your so appreciated help

    It may very well be Copivaleria Grotei as it's the only Noctuidae that I can find with those markings. You've taken really beautifully clear photographs. :-D

    Hello Eileen,

    Thank you very much for your help and appreciation of this picture :)

    After doing lot of searches, I'm 100% sure that it is C. grotei.


    Cheers,

    Michel

    I agree your pictures are so nice and clear. What are you shooting with? I haven't had my camera out in so long....I really miss taking pictures but it is too cold to stand outside for me.
