Moths from Long Valley

Nais Tiger Moth

Took the moth lights to the Promised Land Farm CSA in Long Valley to see what they would attract in a rural NJ setting.

The lights were going for about an hour when approaching lightning and thunder made us literally pull the plug. We were starting to get some awesome moths, though no real big boys.

Here's a sampling. We were able to ID the Nais Tiger Moth; others were ID'd via Project Noah or thanks to Patrick Carney. If you can ID others, that would be great (ran out of time…)

(Thanks to Emma and Joe for hosting this event! A link to the Promised Land Farm CSA is here.)

You’re welcome! And the second to last might be Zigzag Herpetogramma Moth.
