Carolina moth'ers, The sheets filled up with moths over the July 4th weekend. While my neighbors were busy firing off multiple rounds of fireworks, I was busy checking the sheets during one of the more exciting weekends so far this summer. I had about 110 species including about a dozen lifers. I've attached some of my favorites: 1) Aglossa disciferalis (Pink-masked Pyralid Moth) 5512 2) Adoneta spinuloides (Purple-crested Slug Moth) 4685 3) Olethreutes tilianum (Basswood Olethreutes Moth) 2795 -- J.
