Two macros in the trap this morning. One was pretty worn and I haven't managed to ID it yet. The other is either Poplar Kitten (furcula scolopendrina) or Willow Kitten (furcula occidentalis). While I can't be certain, the seasonal distribution of this species would point more towards Willow Kitten (furcula occidentalis). Either way a nice moth. There was also a micro in trap which Greg Pohl identified as a Blastodacna sp. Greg said there are 2 species in Alberta, bicristatella and curvilineella, both rarely collected.
