Another good night. 11 FOY species including at least one lifer, 3218 Sonia constrictana. I'm always amazed at how synchonized moth emergence is. Up until last night, I had not seen a single Parasa chloris; 4 miraculously appeared overnight. I've noticed that with a good number of other species--none present and then suddenly I have multiple individuals on a single night. The list of season first moths follows: 3218 Sonia constrictana LIFER 5512 Aglossa disciferalis 6078 Dysodia oculatana 7827 Amorpha juglandis 7885 Darapsa myron 8090 Hypoprepia fucosa 8329 Idia diminuendis 8379 Renia factiosalis 4698 Parasa chloris 8739 Caenurgina erechtea 8907 Megalographa biloba -- J.
