Kyle,
Keep in mind that many colleges/universities will allow students to create an
independent study project. So, get your photos/data in excellent shape. Some
professor might allow you access to a rooftop or university-owned swamp land!
Seriously, freshman years are generally basic, but who knows!? You've made
things happen so far in your life, and I expect that trait will continue with
you all your life.

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 :-)

Hey everyone,
With the close of 2011 and the beginning of 2012, I thought I would do a
little recap on how the year went for me wildlife wise. 2011 was definitely the
year of moths, with hemipterans (leafhoppers, planthoppers, treehoppers,etc.)
thrown in. This was the first year that I truly started paying very close
attention to moths, photographing and identifying them, and putting up moth
sheets. And what a crazy and fun-filled year it was! And in addition to keeping
track of the number of moths I saw, I also kept track of the number of other
creatures that I saw. Below is the summary of these lists, in no particular
order:
Birds: 306 species
Mammals: 19 species
Reptiles: 32 species
Amphibians: 23 species
Butterflies: 66 species
Dragonflies: 59 species
Damselflies: 23 species
Moths: 528 species
Spittlebugs: 3 species
Leafhoppers: 72 species, plus a couple awaiting ids
Planthoppers: 11 species
Treehoppers: 10 species
Cicadas: 3 species
Grasshoppers: 6 species
Crickets: 6 species
Grasshoppesr: 7 species
Land Planarians: 1 species
Though I can't say I will be going as crazy as I did this past year and keep
a list of everything, especially since I will be going to college in September,
I look forward to enjoying everyone's posts and to finding more new moth
species. Currently the Falls Lake moth list is at 802, 550 of which I have seen
in my backyard. I can't wait until National Moth Week arrives!
Take care, happy mothing, and happy new year!
