black light two nights ago, see attached.

Thanks for sharing the great pictures. Wonderful to hear so many species are
around. Someday I would like to use a light and cloth to see what can still be
found in suburban Charlotte near downtown.

Carolina moth'ers,
A few more pics of some of the more interesting moths from this past weekend.
1) Rheumaptera prunivorata (Cherry Scallop Shell) #7292 (One of my favorite
moths and fairly common at my lights)
2) Acronicta noctivaga (Night-wandering Dagger Moth) #9259
3) Epicallima argenticinctella (Orange-headed Epicallima Moth) #1046
(tiny--about 5-6mm long but beautiful when viewed at close range)
