It was nice here with a high of 70 which brought out a different mix of moths.
Totals for last night;
Torts at least 5 of at least 2 species to be named later. These things were
really active and spent most of their time running all over the sheet.
Wedgeling 4
Diamondback 1
Green Cloverworm 5
Spring Cankerworm 2
Toothed Phigalia 1
Pyralid sp. 1 this one left before I could get a good look at it but my guess
would be Celery Leaftier.

Subject: [ncsc-moths] Mountain moths in January
The last day of January was unbelievably mild with daytime temps hitting 60
falling to the mid-40's at dusk. I put out fresh bait around 6:15pm and
immediately had moths flying in. Morrison's sallow (Eupsilia morrisoni) and
Grote's pinion (Lithophane grotei) were the only 2 species recorded, both very
common winter moths at my location.
