Examples are the International 14, National 12, the 18ft Skiff, the Puddle Duck Racer and the Moth ( dinghy ).

: In North America, " Winter Moth " usually denotes the closely related Operophtera bruceata, but may also mean the less close relative Erannis tiliaria ( Linden Looper ).

The species is extremely similar to two of its relatives, Pale November Moth and Autumnal Moth, and they cannot usually be separated without examination of the genitalia.

This species is very similar to the November Moth and Pale November Moth and identification is usually only possible by examining the genitalia.

The hindwings are grey, usually much darker than in Heart and Dart and Turnip Moth.

The hindwings are whitish ( compared with other common Agrotis species the hindwings of this species are usually paler than in Heart and Club but darker than in Turnip Moth ).

The two officers and their newly-formed unit were provided with four obsolescent Armstrong Whitworth Whitley bombers and a small number of Tiger Moth and Avro 504 biplanes for towing purposes.

However, different strains vary in their host ranges, some having rather narrow ranges, like strain Bba 5653 that is very virulent to the larvae of the Diamondback Moth and kills only few other types of caterpillars.

While there are some progressive elements on Pathogenic, such as on " The Skeezix Dilemma ", their later releases Microscopic View of a Telescopic Realm and Where Moth and Rust Destroy have more marked progressive metal influences.

It was incorporated on 29 May 1928, and commenced instructions on 13 January 1929 when they received their first two De Havilland Moth aircraft, presented to them by the Government of India.
