Roland's Sallow
Psaphida rolandi
March 24, 2003

This moth caused me a bit of confusion, but some help from our electronic moth community helped nail the ID.  These are currently the most common noctuids at the light and have been recently joined by a couple of Fawn Sallows.

Wonder who Roland was. Roland Trimen? Trimen was an accomplished lepidopterist at the time Grote named the moth.
