Deb Lievens has recently sent images and flight data for several species from Grafton County and Rockingham County:

Dryocampa rubicunda, Thornton, Grafton Co., May 25 - June 7.
Dryocampa rubicunda, Londonderry, Rockingham Co., May 26-30.
I suspect at least a partial second brood in each of those two counties.

Antheraea polyphemus, Thornton, Grafton Co., June 8
Antheraea polyphemus, Londonderry, Rockingham Co., July 18 - August 8.

Actias luna, Thornton, Grafton Co., June 7 - July 14
