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.

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.
