Excerpt from The Night Moths of New England: How to Determine Them Readily
The different families have been arranged in seven groups, of which the first three embrace the larger moths. These three groups lead gradually from one to another with no distinct line of demarcation, so that often a spinner is taken for an oar/let, or a geometer for a spinner. Therefore, if a specimen cannot be found in the group that it seems to resemble it will be found in another similar to it. The last groups contain the smaller moths, which are mostly recognized by parts of their heads and veins of their wings, - too minute' for consideration in this book. Only a few, therefore, of each family are represented to give an idea of their character. On account of the great number of moths, the majority of which are so nearly alike in coloration and size, as well as the variations in size and color among themselves, the females often being double the size of the males, - ir is always difficult to determine the name of a moth which has no decided markings. Even their own wear and tear make them often unrecognizable.
Abbreviations used in the descriptions are as follows: f. For forewing, h. For hindwing, c. For food plant of the caterpillar. The word like is used, meaning similar in shape and marking, but not in color and size.
