Thanks Jackie! You will definitely hear from me while I am in college, though
not sure if I will be able to put a moth sheet up somewhere or just walk around
at night, who knows. Great job reaching 560!
Take care,
Kyle

Congratulations, Kyle
That's a lot of identified species. I dawdled towards the end, but ended up
with 560 spp of moths. A good base to build on. Hope to hear from you while
you're at school; you'll still be scoping for moths on campus, I know it :-)
