    Wow, and most seem the same species? Could weevil as well.
    What is the ruler on the left?     Posted 4 years ago

      They were all the same species! I should have collected one to send for ID. Tonight will be much cooler, but I'm going to moth anyway to see if they return. I've had them two nights in a row so far.

      I haven't been seeing many moths, but there are still some beetles (I got some decent shots of the weevil in the photo).

      The ruler-looking thing is my LED light strip.       Posted 4 years ago
