Third Trap Success

Well, we chose a perfect warm non- moonlit night for the last trapping and again we lured some  interesting types- so wonderful to think we have so many beautiful species of moth flying around us at night in this area. There is certainly an abundance of different species that look healthy which is a good reflection of our local ecosystem.

The Poplar Hawk Moth below was a gorgeous example who was getting ready for the off when I held him aloft! What a privilege to see such a handsome moth at such close quarters!
