Merrill, Obsessive pursuit or mastery? Probably both. We aren't set up enough at our new farm to have "New Moon Beer Tasting and Mothing Watching Events" yet. Maybe next year. Did you do moth sheets at the Roan Mountain Spring Naturalist Rally? If so, how did it go? I will be setting up at the fall rally on Sept. 6 and 7th. It would be cool if you could join me.

I wonder if the diversity is a function of where I live or my obsessive pursuit to identify everything--probably both. Are you still doing your beer and mothing get-togethers? Hope to get up with you sometime for both! Merrill J.

I remember when our lists were about the same. I have since about doubled mine while you have tripled yours.
