Well, it stopped me from putting out a light trap last night anyway. Yesterday, there were 11 moths of 5 species in the trap so the numbers were on the increase. However, there were no new species for the year. The list was as follows:
| Garden Arches | Lacanobia radix | x2 |
| Papestra Quadrata | Papestra quadrata | x1 |
| Ruddy Quaker Moth | Protorthodes oviduca | x2 |
| Vancouver Dart | Agrotis vancouverensis | x5 |
| Purple-Lined Sallow | Pyrrhia exprimens | x1 |
One thing that I’ve only just realised is that Papestra quadrata appears to be a new backyard moth. I saw at least one last year in the Waterton area but I do appear to have any records of this species for my backyard. That takes my backyard macro moth list to 260.
No photographs so I’ve included a couple of non moth photographs taken during the last month or so.
