These two moths I thought might also be Digrammia but when I put the last
one next to these they look much different. Maybe these are a Speranza sp.
Any thoughts?

Based off of the photos alone, I believe they're both Diagrammia denticulata. The one in photo 6195 appears to be a nice male specimen and is nearly a spitting image to a denticulata image that Gary Anweiler has. The other (photo 6199) is a little more iffy but looks to me like a female denticulata within the standard range of variation for the species (I only express reservation because I've seen similar looking D. delectata, but I don't believe they fly in your area).

Hope that helps.

Jason

Digrammia denticulata (Grote) would be my guess on these 2.
