April update
Although snow and cold weather has returned temporarily, seven moths have been seen so far in the past three weeks. Two have been Noctuids, two have been Gelechiids, and the others include a Pyralid, Tortricid, and Pter.... (plume moth). The identified include: Xylena thoracica, Agonopterix alstroemeriana (Poison Hemlock Moth), and Alsophila pometaria (Fall Cankerworm Moth). The last one is the strangest, but has been seen early in the year in other nearby states (January in Oklahoma, March in North Dakota, etc.)
