NMW: Roman Nose State Park observations
We had a great moth night at Roman Nose State Park on Saturday evening. Around 30 people attended, mostly guests who were staying at the state park for the weekend. We saw more than 150 species, which includes some moths seen around the area the day before and after the moth night.
Observations from the weekend can be found here.
Highlights include Beet Webworm Moth, Americerura candida, Trapeze Moth, Abegesta species, a Pyralini we haven't quite identified yet, and Wilson's Wood Nymph. We also had SEVEN species of sphinx moths (Sphingidae): Five-spotted Hawkmoth, Hagen's, Elm, White-lined, Virginia Creeper, Twin-spotted, and Blinded Sphinx.
Due to the small number of previous observations in Blaine County many of our observations are probably county records.
