delectable.. what lights are you using?
One LepiLED and two Entoquip 32 W LED lights. Its close enough to my house that I can run them all off of an extention cord.
I confess that I am glad that moth week is over, so I am freed from my self-imposed requirement to go out and look for moths every night. There are a few species that I actually learned to ID, but it remains to be seen whether or not I will remember them next year!
I had a few lifers, but my fave was one I’ve seen once before, a Virgin tiger moth - the most colorful of the visitors to my porch.
You are living my dream…how come mine never look that way??? :)
I live in a cloud forest so cloudy and foggy nights are the norm. They are also the best nights for mothing. It helps that mu house is surrounded by mature cloud forest on three sites and reforested pastureland on the fourth side. IMO, it rivals some of the premiere mothing locations in the world. I am very spoiled.
I hope you have an extra bed for when I come to visit

They look cooler than butterflies, with their unfolded wings making them look like planes.
Hey, if knowledgeable people here want to get observations stuck at Order Lepidoptera into the National Moth Week 2026 project, you can use this Identify link: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/identify?order_by=random&d1=2026-07-18&d2=2026-07-26&hrank=order&lrank=order&taxon_id=47157 (it’s sorted by Random, btw, but you can change that easily if you want)
They just need to be knocked down to a taxon that’s in Lepidoptera but not in Papilionoidea, so IDing to the correct Superfamily or finer will help. I’ve been trying but I don’t know my moth taxonomy well enough.
Lol, what shutterspeed were you shooting at?
1/8000 of a second, and still most of the shots had motion blur.
A few weeks ago I finally saw my first rosy maple moth, and yesterday I saw my Second one! And during daylight hours this time!
