Hello all,

Sure, I know these are both bird lists.  However, I figured I would ask if 
anyone out there knows a lot about moths.  I have tons of them.  I have 
identified about two.  Poplar Tree Moth and Pink Prominent.  And I am not 
sure whether the second one was right.  It might have been a Primrose Moth.  

So, I live in the woods.  I have millions of bugs out here.  And now I want 
to start identifying them.  Problem is some of these critters look very 
nondescript.  Lots of brown, black, and gray.  I have (stolen from a friend) 
the Covell moth guide (Peterson series), and it has many black and white 
pictures of the tricky looking moths.  Is there a better field guide?  Is 
there an expert locally that I can accelerate my learning from?  

If anyone has any advice, let me know.  

Thanks,

Todd Day
