Decided to make up some bait today--molasses, brown sugar, a banana and one
Bud Light--and was rewarded tonight with 4 species and 8 individuals:

Eupsilia morrisoni (Morrison's Sallow):  4
Eupsilia vinulenta (Straight-toothed Sallow):  1
Grote's Pinion (Lithophane grotei):  2
Lunate Zale (Zale lunata):  1

I had no moths at my porch lights.  This is the first time I've tried bait
since September; don't know why I didn't try this earlier.  Balmy tonight:
overcast with temps 45-49 degrees.
