I can understand the part about working on night birds but sleep is for the 
weak!  ;)

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!
