Moth'ers, Another good night, the fourth in a row, due to unseasonably mild weather in the mountains. I added another 10 or so FOY species but alas, no lifers. Some of my favorites: 7639 Cladara atroliturata (The Scribbler)--one of my favorite geometers and fairly common at my location 7239 Hydriomena pluviata--another nicely colored geometer 2319 Bondia crescentella--an interesting micro speckled with gold 1162 Blastobasis glandulella (Acorn Moth) or something close--my specimen has two distinct vertical rusty-brown bars bisecting the dark stripe across the forewing; I do not see this mark on any of the ones pictured on MPG or BugGuide Good mothing. -- J.
