The most common moth on or actually near the sheets for the past 6 weeks has been Idia americalis. If I include what I see away from the lights, the most common moth was Spodoptera frugiperda but about 5 days ago, they virtually disappeared.

Has any one noticed it? What has anyone else noticed to be common. This year has been a poor year for Sphinx. Last year I had a good number of them. What is your input?
