I'm staying in a log cabin not far from Waterton Provincial Park for the next few days so my postings may be a little erratic. In fact, a young Black bear just ran past our cabin but the only photographs I have are of it disappearing into a valley. Oh well... With regards to moths, last night was another good night for my backyard. There were 58 moths of 35 species. 3 are new species for the year and 5 species, consisting of 3 Geometrids and 2 Noctuids, I haven't had time to identify yet. The new backyard moths for the year that I have identified are as follows:
Satin Moth (Leucoma salicis)
Hooked Silver Y (Syngrapha alias)
Anhimella contrahens (Anhimella contrahens)
I'm hoping to see some moths where I'm staying so will endeavour to create a few postings for any new or interesting species that I find in the area.
