I'm back in Calgary now and after a warm dry night I recorded 56 macro moths of 28 species. A new species for the backyard was Eupithecia cretaceata.  There were also 7 new species for the year including:
Orange-barred Carpet Moth (Dysstroma hersiliata)
Barred Yellow (Eulithis propulsata)
Master's Dart (Feltia herilis)
Divergent Dart (Euxoa divergens)
Western brown Dart (Euxoa basalis)
Ruby Dart (Xestia oblata)
Large Yellow UnderWing (Noctua pronuba)
