Dark-spotted Palthis (Palthis angularis). Weird-looking, huh? Wentworth NH, 6/14/2015.

I had two of these little moths (about 11mm) and I think I've seen them in the bathrooms too (this one was on one of the egg cartons in my collecting bucket. Jeweled Tailed Slug Moth (Packardia geminata), Wentworth NH, 6/14/2015.

I found this very worn Small-eyed Sphinx in the bottom of the collecting bucket when I unpacked it. I couldn't get a natural picture with the hindwing spot showing, as it seemed to want to flutter to the ground and stay there, when I released it.  Small-eyed Sphinx (Paonias myops), Wentworth NH, 06/14/2015.

I actually photographed one of these a week previously on the Pine Haven bathroom wall, but it was gone again by morning, and my low light photograph was not great. Last Sunday I got a somewhat better picture of a specimen that had settled on the wall of my collecting bucket. The curled wings are distinctive, but it unfurled them slightly when I poked at it to chase it away, so I scrambled to get a picture of it that way, too.
