This was only the 2nd count for DeKalb County and it was a pretty hot day,
but one of the first species found was a great one. Found in Carol
William?s yard just north of Smithville was a Funereal Duskywing, first for
the county and 4th for the state as I have been informed. We also had
another county first, the Hobomok.
