Richard and all,
I have the same sentiments as Richard right now; just keeping up with
what is on my plate is tough; to add the time needed to work on moths
now is just not realistic, but it is comforting to know that this new
field of endeavor is out there waiting and that a lot of the pioneering
work has been done.
Those who are into birds know that night birds take up at least some of
any real birder's time at night, as does sleep.
Later, Steve

That's fabulous, Ken, Congratulations! Very impressive. I'm not going to
join in just yet, but you keep up the good work.

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.
