The moths have kept me busy! Here are some of my favorites that are ID'd. In addition to these, this past week my place has been hopping with Banded Tussocks, Va. Creeper & Carolina Sphinxes, Lunas, Ios (both sexes), almost daily Imperial Moths, Tolypes, and Dart Moths. Of course, there are many more in the "to be identified" folder. Thanks to Merrill and others for help with IDs. Based on the weather here, looks like tonight will be another good night! Jackie Nelson NW N.Carolina / S. Appalachians
