Ok, so now you can add a moth for Overton Co.! 

I have a Facebook friend from Dickson Co. who is interested in mothing. If she 
decides to get into it big time, how can I get her involved with our group?  We 
haven't met in person, but she loves taking photos of nature and wanted to know 
about how to set up a moth sheet and light. I may have a new convert! :) 



I had a large gray moth last night that I assumed was a sphinx (that's what I 
get for assuming!), it turned out to be a Carpenterworm Moth. No wonder I 
couldn't find it in the sphinx section of MPG. I'll send in the Hodges number 
when I post my latest report.

I would say pieces count, so long as you have more than half a moth..... like 
turning in 1/2 a dollar bill into a bank.  LOL

  I had one Luna at my house, but it would not sit still for a nice portrait! I 
saw 2 at Frozen Head SP in Morgan Co. (5-9-11) and the wings of one at Standing 
Stone SP (5-27-11) in Overton Co. 
  I don't know if pieces count or not! :)

  I haven't seen any Lunas in years, except one dead one in the woods last 
year.   This year I have had three.

    :-) 



    I'm trying to figure out why the large moths find it necessary to crash 
into me several times before they make it to the sheet. Last night 2 Sphinx 
Moths and a Luna let me know about their arrival in this manner. 



    That makes 6 Lunas for the year. I don't know what others normally see but 
considering I didn't see any last year, this seems like a lot.

Silk Moth got a bit up close and personal with Kenny! I was laughing so hard I 
could hardly take the picture! :)
