For Pines: where there are no notes on numbers, there are just isolated plants - numbers are given of denser infestations.
A huge thank you to everyone who has photographed moths this week!
I know our weather has been all over the place! We've been in this severe drought, and I feel like I haven't seen nearly the variety of moths that I've seen in prior years, and in smaller numbers. We had two days of rain in my area, and it seems to have helped a little bit! I had more flying last night, than earlier in the week!
Looks like it's going to be another good night tonight!
Good luck everyone, and ha...
Boozhoo!
(Hello in Anishinaabemowin)
Our previous two walks at Naapi's Garden and Writing-on-Stone Provincial Park (Áísínai'pi) were fantastic. Thank you to everyone who attended.
At Naapi's garden, we observed wildflowers such as Purple Geranium, Low Larkspur, Wild onion (Pisatsiinikimm), Wild Carrot (Niistsikápa’s), and Nineleaf Biscuitroot (Opihtahtsi). Api'soomaahka taught us about how yarrow (Áóhtoksóoki) is known as the "medicine chest" of the prairies. The le...
There are three groups that need especial attention: Please help if you can.
Passeggiata di quattro ore: salita verso Monte Nero e poi discesa a mezza costa sul Sentiero Liguria verso Ospedaletti.
Lungo la salita incontro una serie di serre e moltissime specie diverse di libellule; presto scopro che la loro abbondante presenza è dovuta a delle cisterne utilizzate immagino per coltivare: ne noto sempre alcune volare intorno a questi specchi d'acqua.
Salendo e in parte della discesa passo attraverso la macchia mediterranea. Nell'area con arbusti bassi non n...

Only a slight chance of rain tonight in Austin, and the heat and humidity seem to make it quite good for moths, at least based on what I've seen at my house and our first two public National Moth Week events. We'll welcome your attendance at Roy G Guerrero Colorado River Metro Park, where we've always had good nocturnal insect viewing because of the great habitat. See you there.
Light and sheet stations will be operating at dark. Sunset is around 830 PM.
