Fall is an excellent time of year for lepidopterans, particularly moths. We are fortunate to live in a unique area of the continent. Animal life is a part of that uniqueness; which most certainly including insects. Here are only a few excellent species of moths we've recorded thus far in September. We've generally experienced them via the simple methodology of blacklighting. In fact, most of these, from our own back porch.
This first two we actually came across on first street in Marathon back on the 19th.
