It’s still slow for June but there were five species of macro moths in the light trap last night. The new species were American Angle Shades (Euplexia benesimilis) and a species that I haven’t seen before, a Straight-lined Plagodis Moth (Plagodis phlogosaria). There was some wear on the right forewing of the Plagodis moth but it is a very colourful species. Would like to get another one of these.
I’m in Lethbridge this weekend and there is a storm watch in effect until after midnight so it’s doubtful that I will have a light trap out tonight. Hoping for better weather tomorrow.
