[LEPS-L:7928] Re: Is this a Catocala?

Your species is Notcua pronuba. A good book for you get would be Le Guide
Des Papilions Du Quebec by Louis Hanfired. It is in French, but you can
figure it out. It will probably have most of the moths in your area in it. I
am not sure where to order it from. I got mine from Lafontaine. Your
curation of the specimens is very good. I would like to know how you scanned
these. Did you photograph them first or scan straight From the pinning tray?
