Identified Moths

I've identified some moths... I think. Below are some pictures of the moths I have identified, in a following post will be pictures of unidentified moths. It is quite a process to identify a single beast, even when it is a common, unique looking moth. My moth light should be here tomorrow, lets hope it works!

Ailanthus Webworm Moth

Pondweed Moth

Eastern Tent Moth (Seney NWR)

Gray Ethmia (Wyoming)

Common Grass-veneer (Marquette)

The Gem (Marquette)

First Blog Post

Because identifying birds and butterflies is just not enough (yea, right!), I've decided to take up "mothing". I have ordered a blacklight from BioQuip and should have it next week. In Marquette, I have found a few moths that I can identify, and a lot I can't. I'll post pictures later. Hopefully I get a few good catches before mothing season winds down.

This blog will be used for moths. If you want to check out pictures of birds and butterflies, check out www.pavlikphotography.com
