20th-21st June

I finally got around to running the light trap overnight on the 20th June and last night.  There were 12 macro moths of 8 species in trap yesterday morning and 5 macro moths of 4 species in the trap this morning.  Neighbourly Arches (Lacinipolia vicina) and Large Looper (Autographa ampla) were the new species for the year. 

The following species were the ones photographed yesterday morning.  It’s always nice to see a Putnams Looper (Plusia putnami).  I believe the micro moth is a Large Aspen Tortrix Moth (Choristoneura conflictana).
