Can’t say that the weather cooperated, but folks had a thoroughly enjoyable Moth Night with The Nature Conservancy at the Kay Center in Chester last night.
Because of a light but unpredictable rain, we moved the old Mothra movie, the S’Mores and the popcorn inside, and then set up the Mercury vapor light and a sheet under an overhang outside.
We did not expect much moth activity. All I can is, Boy, were we surprised.
Horned Spanworm Moth
Hawk Moth (likely Virginia Creeper Hawk Moth)
