Perfect conditions last night for moths--overcast with some drizzle and temps holding in the 50's all night. Disappointing turnout however; I had 9 species and about 20 individuals equally divided between the porch UV light and the sugar bait. I've been waiting until the moth activity really picks up before putting up my yard sheet setup which I think I'll do this weekend. 0867 Agonopterix pulvipennella 3514 Acleris cervinaria FOY 6659 Phigalia denticulata--photo 1 (note the heavier markings, distinct loop in the pm line near the inner margin; also noticeably larger than strigataria) 6660 Phigalia strigataria--photo 2 (note more subdued markings, lack of pm loop, and the slight but distinct olivaceous tint of the forewings; noticeably smaller than denticulata) 7390 Xanthorhoe lacustrata 9930 Pyreferra sp. maybe citromba 9933 Eupsilia vinulenta 9936 Eupsilia morrisoni 10994 Cerastis tenebrifera FOY Merrill Lynch Echo Valley Farm Watauga Co., NC elevation 3400'
