Moth ID Confirmation - Saskatchewan, Canada

Greetings,

I hope that I have correctly identified these 2 Moths as "Neighbor Moths" (Haploa contigua). Their patterns are similar yet different! ;> Thanks for your help! Andrea

Andrea,

I just consulted my new Peterson's Moth guide, and I believe these are Leconte's Haploa (Haploa lecontei). Peterson shows four variations of Leconte's, two of which closely match your photos.
