Lepidoptera
Moths
The pictures that are included when you link to the families will include the Hodges reference number. The Hodges number is also listed below with the families. Due to the reorganizing of the Noctuidae, some of the numbers are out of sequence. On the picture will be the wingspan of the moth. I have also included PDFs of the pictures in case someone wants to download and print them. I have included some species that I have collected from Kentucky, Minnesota and Michigan.
I have included the collection data for specimens that Frank Olsen, Keith Summerville and myself have in our collections. Also is a list of the species that we have found in Iowa.
I am adding maps that show counties where the species has been collected. By each species name on the family page will be "Map" which when clicked on will take you to a map of Iowa that will have an asterisk in the counties where we have found the species.
