So many moths!!

I have been completely blown away by the amount of moths, and the variety I have managed to get just in the past month.  I have had 290 species since the last update for the year, and 83 lifers.  There are more than a handful of candidates for increasing both of those numbers that currently sit at a higher taxonomic ID level.  I initially came up the goal of passing 800 lifetime, and 600 for the year.  The former is probably a low number, and the latter about right for a stretch.  Currently sitting at 785/430.  There are 2 more potential first Michigan records sitting in those numbers also since last update.  

I ended up purchasing some cheap 10w blacklights, and they dramatically improved my numbers.  This convinced me to go more in, and I purchased 2 Entolights.  The effect they had is 10-fold.  There are some nights it was hard to get out the door.  I've had to adjust my setup to move the entolights away from the door so I don't have to fight through a cloud of bugs.  

I have a myriad of pics below that I've used as placeholders for posting on other sites, so they are a bit random.  I will try to do better with the next update of some narrative order to their placement.
