Bfly & Moth differences

That brings to mind a little mothing get-together I had in my yard a few
weeks ago.  Someone (J.A. - I'll protect your identity) wondered aloud how
well we could identify the moths from where we were sitting  (about 50 feet
from the sheet) using a birding scope.  You know how it is - someone will
make an idle comment, everyone will look at one another, and the challenge
has all but been issued.  I brought the scope out of my house, set it up,
and to our surprise, we were able to nail some of the larger species.  We
were at the very least able to get some of the others down to the family

Okay, there may have been a beer or two involved...
