The moth numbers continue to increase with 31 macro moths of 20 species last night. There were 7 new backyard moths for the year as follows:
Clandestine Dart (Spaelotis clandestina)
Split-lined Angle Moth (Speranza bitactata
Thoughtful Apamea (Apamea cogitata)
Anarta farnhami
Lesser Wainscot (Mythimna oxygala)
American Idia (Idia americalis)
Putnam's Looper Moth (Plusia putnami)
I have to say that Anarta farnhami and Putnam's Looper Moth (Plusia putnami) are two of my favourite noctuids. I find the intricate patterns and subtle colours of Anarta farnhami quite amazing.
