Box Tree Moth, Cydalima perspectalis

There is a possibility that the Box Tree Moth has been introduced to Massachusetts from Canada. Please look out for it.

The Mass Moths website has been considerably expanded

The 2nd phase of the Mass Moths website is now live. Have a look at https://massmoths.org/. The site now has the full list of species occurring in the State and every species has its own page, with map and texts. Photos have so far been added to only very few species pages, but many more will be added in the coming weeks (I might be asking some of you to use some of your iNat photos). There is also a search function where you can search on anything included in the texts, e.g. foodplants. Some of the existing pages have also been expanded.

Suggestions for improvement are welcome and if any errors are found, please report them.
