Thank You For Attending!
Thank you to everyone who attended our moth blacklighting event at Seneca Meadows Education Center on 7/26! While it was chilly and we did not see a large quantity of moths, the species we did see were interesting and unusual. I (Molly) am in the process of identifying and uploading photos of all of these species to the iNat project, and soon I will be able to compile a species list for the night. I recommend joining this project if you have not already done so - this way you will be notified when I publish this final tally!

The field guide we used at our event is the Peterson Field Guide to Moths of Northeastern North America by David Beadle and Seabrooke Leckie.
We saw many other interesting insects during our event as well! If you'd like to learn more about singing insects like katydids, check out: https://songsofinsects.com/
