  1. Your species count must be ticking up there! Posted 4 years ago
    1. 680 now. I'm expecting to reach 700 by October. Posted 4 years ago
      1. That is insanely impressive. I'm at 176 and would like to get to 200 by the end of the season...250 would be awesome though. I haven't been mothing as much lately - the results have been poor most nights. Posted 4 years ago
        1. I hit 682 last night with Catocala ultronia. Moths have been sparse since early June when the drought and heat began. I don't stay up as late now since there are few moths and other insects coming to my light. Still, I've added 67 new species so far this year (26 just in July). I'm thinking 700 by October is not impossible now. Posted 4 years ago
          1. I think you'll make it! Perhaps even surpass the 700 mark! I'm going to start back up tonight. I think my dream job would be to travel the world, mothing every where I go. Can you imagine?! Posted 4 years ago
