Moth Night Photos
Last night was "Moth Night" sponsored by the East Brunswick Environmental Commission. I was joined by John at A DC Birding Blog. Lots of families with kids, lots of good questions, and some pretty neat moths. Here are photos. If anyone cares to make some IDs for these, please do. I'll be checking them in the field guide over the coming days.

Sounds like a fun night. I would guess the green one is a Katydid.

That was a lot of fun last night. Thanks for inviting me. I'll post some photos in a day or two.
Found out about this mere hours beforehand, or else I might have tried to check this out. Unfortunately I can't offer much in the way of identification, but the bottom one looks like an Explicit Arches (Lacinipolia explicata).
Jennifer, don't make me flag "The Hawk Owl's Nest" for explicit content!
:-)
Jochen,
:)
Unfortunately the moth that Patrick photographed looks not much like the presumably preferable Implicit Arches (L. implicata) or the even-better Laudable Arches (L. laudabilis). Perhaps there should be some Photoshopping next time to protect this blog from accusations of Explicit (Arches) content.
Thanks for the "explicit" ID on that one species. I think the first species might be Copper Underwing (at least, that's what the leader said). Also, I think the one on the bark is one of the zales. Is ZALE pronounced like HAIL or ZAL-ay. I've heard both.
Cool! I did a few posts on moths back when I was in PA; I really like them! I found bugguide.net to be extremely helpful in IDing them.
Cute photos but I do not have a clue what they are named. I have enough to remember already with the birds!
Today is Due Date, no?
These moths looks so creepy, why did you take these photos ?
