Many places near Harrisburg have lots of this very distinctive vine to be seen, and I was surprised to find a plant so wholly unfamiliar. Turns out it is Asiatic Tearthumb (Persicaria perfoliata), and per the wikipedia page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persicaria_perfoliata it was introduced in Pennsylvania and has spread outwards from there.

Milkweed Tussock Moth (Euchaetes egle). This was at Pine Haven, weeks ago. What I didn't capture in the photo was that it showed black/orange checkering along the abdomen when it fluttered.

There's a number of grey moths that are giving me trouble identification-wise; most of the batch, I'm not ready to try to call one way or the other, but I think this one is Brown Bark Carpet (Horisme intestinata).

This moth - The Gem (Orthonama obstipata) - is from my bathroom in Somerville. Quite small - 19mm ws., and the species is sexually dimorphic with this being the male.

Digging back to early this month, this is a White-ribboned Carpet (Mesoleuca ruficillata), from the restrooms at Pine Haven.

White-dotted Prominent (Nadata gibbosa); attracted to lights, then stayed until the next morning.

Larch Tolype (Tolype laricis). The lumpy stuff on its back seems to be usual for the species. Came to UV light (it was sitting on the exterior of a window, a little out of reach, when I photographed it).

This moth, found at Pine Haven weeks ago, turns out to be a new-to-me species - False Hemlock Looper (Nepytia canosaria).
I had snapped a quick picture (in the bathroom, I think) with awkward lighting, chalking it up as another of the Grey Spruce Loopers, which were common there, until it came time later to sort photos, and I noticed it didn't match.

There's a variety of "litter moths" - the ones that tend to be flushed in daylight walking in woodlands. Hard to distinguish, but I think this one is probably Speckled Renia Moth (Renia adspergillus).
