They do look related... I live in central Texas , how about you? Once after a storm from the gulf coast, I went out early to leave for work and thought I saw a bat that had landed on my garage door... as I approaced, discovered it was a moth (missed the photo) and it was HUGE, wingspan larger than my hand, so I figured it got caught up in the winds from the storm and blew in from Central or South America, only wish I could have gotten a photo....

I know the pic is blurry but this guy looks rather similar. Maybe they're first cousins or something. I like to turn on the porch light at night and wait about an hour. The wall under the light is always covered with moths. I got pics of eight different kinds of moths the other evening. Nice talking to you, get out there and shoot somemore BUGS.

Yes, my boat trailer was in my back yard, and I noticed he had landed near the ground on the tire... what interested me most was I had never noticed a moth with that color pattern, but saw on Megapixel.net another photo (after I took this one) that someone else had taken of the same type of moth... so I guess they aren't so rare...
