[ncsc-moths] Moth Night at Elk Knob State Park

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!  ;)
