I've been enjoying your photos. Unlike most list members, I'm guessing, I
do a majority of my mothing not at home but en route to work in the morning.
I have several stops I make at gas stations/convenience stores that have
white walls with lights shining on them. The Ascalapha I found a couple of
years ago was on the sidewalk in front of a busy Kangaroo store, just far
enough to the side not to get stepped upon. This one was clinging low on a
wall at a Citgo station that is still closed when I go by at 5:45-6:00 a.m.
I've found some very cool stuff at both, though this year has been kind of a
dud. I'm not sure how many records there are for Black Witch in North
Carolina but I'm sure it's fewer than a dozen. That I've seen two suggests,
though, that it's a more regular immigrant/migrant than we probably think it
is.
Good mothing.
Parker

Yesterday morning I came across a Black Witch (Ascalapha odorata) at one of
my morning stops.
Congratulations. Where were you when you saw it?
