A poor photograph of one of the late arrivals to the Moth Mania event at Elmer Oliver Nature Park. Although a discussion on MPG suggests that funeralis and maculalis cannot be told apart reliably by photographs, there is a strong probabilistic argument to be made that *absent* a white spot on the head, the moth will be funeralis. A photo of the underside of the abdomen would help a lot. See: http://bugguide.net/node/view/477890

Grape Leaffolder Moth (Desmia funeralis) was seen during the July 26th, Magnificent Moths program at Gorman Nature Center. The moths were attracted to the mothing sheets with black lights.

Hornsby Bend, Austin, Travis Co., Texas 10 May 2013 I chased around several of these small moths for 10 minutes. They always landed on the undersides of leaves or grass blades and refused to allow me to get a photo from above. This is the best I could do. Not a clue what it is, but it seems to always hide under leaves.

Not sure about this one. Please correct me if I misidentified.
