Sorry for the lack of blog entries but I’ve been away for 6 days chasing bears in the Waterton Lakes National Park… Due to the somewhat unpredictable weather and time constraints, the light trap was only out a couple of times but I did get at least 3 species that I have never seen before. I was particularly pleased to get the Dogwood Thyatirid Moth (Euthyatira pudens) as I have seen the similar Peach Blossom Moth (Thyatira batis) in the UK. The other new species were a 7935 Banded Pebble (Gluphisia severa) and a Pleromelloida conserta. I believe that the butterfly is a Western Pine Elfin (Callophrys eryphon). Incidentally, in case anyone is interested, I will be adding some bear photographs to my flickr photostream and nature photography website.
