Fellow moth-ers, Here at last is the list I have put together for North Carolina. I am certain that it is not perfect, but at least it is reasonably accurate. I think there are 2060 species included -- by now I don't know if I can do even simple math, my eyes are so tired. I began with a list of the moths by Hodges number and supplemented it with information from the Covell guide. I have checked through the list using Bug Guide to find those whose range appears to include NC. I have also checked the South Carolina list, and if a moth was reported from a county bordering NC, I included it. I also included others that were only a couple of counties away, figuring that they easily could find their way here. Finally, I looked at the Dalton State (GA) site and added those that were reported for NC. I am sure that the Great Smoky Mountains National Park list of lepidoptera, which I do not have access to, would yield even others. At last I can get back to identifying my photos! One beauty that visited last night was The Hebrew. What a treat! Harry Wilson Zebulon, NC
