   Jeremy Tatum writes:  The moth below came out of the folds of the same towel as the one shown on July 7, although not under such startling circumstances.  The moth is quite worn, and probably didn’t have much of a distinctive pattern even when fresh.  Consequently, it is a bit difficult to identify, but both Libby Avis and Jeremy Tatum think that it may be Apamea devastator.
