I finally finished identifying as many species as I could from both of our moth nights last week. I compiled a species list for both nights and made public albums for both parks on my FaceBook account (you do not have to be on FB to view these); I was surprised that there wasn't more overlap than there was. 104 species at New River and 52 at Elk Knob--but only a handful that were the same! It was great fun and we hope to do it again soon! Now--I have to focus on BUTTERFLIES because we will be hosting the Carolina Butterfly Symposium at my park this coming weekend! Too many irons in the fire! ;) New River State Park Moth List Tuesday, July 24, 2012 Folks in Attendance: Jackie Nelson, Doug Blatny, Parker Backstrom, Merrill Lynch, George Owenby, Lori Owenby, Emily Owenby, Gene Schepker, Kyle Kittleberger, Paul Scharf, Brian Bockhahn, Jeremy ?
