I finally got around to looking through some more of last years moth photographs and have identified another 8 new species. Not all were seen in my Calgary backyard. I found 3 new species in one weekend while visiting relatives in Lethbridge. In addition, I found 1 new species from 2016.
I’ll post some more photographs from last year in future blog entries.
