I thought I'd post this to try and convince some of you die-hard butterfliers to come over to the dark side of Leps. 2 nights ago my yard list of identified moth species reached 1000. The majority of these were seen on or near my light/sheet setup which means I didn't have to leave my back porch to find them. Since it's done at night, it doesn't interfere with butterflying or birding and it can be done all year long. I'm already at 41 identified species for 2013! There's a tn-moths listserv and for those of you on Facebook there's a Mothing and Moth-watching group. #1000 was the Red-winged Sallow shown in the attached pic.
