4 macros in the trap last night, the first since May 22nd. 2 Ignorant Apamea (Apamea indocilis) and 2 Army Cutworm moths (Euxoa auxiliaris). As Gary Anweiler pointed out, there seems to have been a big influx of auxiliaris this year. Gary also mentioned that auxiliaris makes up a large proportion of the moths which are an important seasonal food for Grizzly Bears on the talus slopes of Wyoming and Montana. Not an obvious Bear food!
