Page 2 - Moths of Northern New Jersey
Although all of the moths on this page were photographed in northern NJ, most of these moths' range can be found in the northeastern United States (US / USA).
The identification photos are organized by family. Photos start lower on page.

This page is constantly being updated with live moth photos. The majority of NEW moth species that will be added will be spring through fall. Thank you for your patience, and if we don't have a specific species, check back later.

Please contact Joe Garris, Sr. with any questions that you may have; about moths only please; at JoeGarrisSr@stillwaterwoods.net.
