Hello! Does anyone have an idea on these Catocala from Crawford and Harrison County, Indiana and the last two from Cochise County, Arizona. Thank you for your time! ~Zak |

Zak,
My guesses (I usually inspect verso for confirmation) on these are as follows (top to bottom). Some have wear which clouds determination some. Catocala ________
Pic 1........vidua, vidua, robinsoni
Pic 2........ paleogama, innubens, ilia (form....osculata), nebulosa
Pic 3......... neogama euphemia, verilliana
I'd love for confirmation or discussion of what others think just to give you a firmer ID on them. For example, my robinsoni are marked like yours, but are a tad smaller whereas your robinsoni is larger in size or your viduas might be on the small size. Your innubens is not typically marked, but what I see for markings lead me innubens way from both books and my collection. Your ilia HWs are damaged right at the best spot for IDing where that teardrop spot would be.
These are my thoughts and surely are open to different takes/opinions.

Thank you very much, Bill. I am just starting to get into the Catocala genus so this is very helpful.

No problem, but do wait a spell for takes on these from others.
