The low temperature Wednesday night was 66°. I only have three Bait Traps set out, all three Slotted Pan Type. The trap in my yard had 11 species of Lithophane, including a new species for me, Lithophane baileyi. Eupsilia vilentua and Eupsilia devia we're also nice.
My only trap along North Elkhorn Creek had several species of Lithophane and Eupsilia. Also a very wing worn female Mataxaglea something which I let fly. I have a trap set in a fence line with lots of trees near my church. Only several Lithophane and my first butterfly of The year,Polygonia comma female. I let It fly.
I have three more Bait Traps ready for tomorrow. I will travel to Harrison County, Indiana. I have never set Bait Traps for Winter/Cold Weather moths in this area. There is some remnant prairie and Pine Barrens. Might prove to be interesting.

In late March I took down all of my Bait Traps except the one in my yard. My life has once again become rather complicated.
I have a huge back log of specimens to prepare and even more to be placed in my collection. I recently acquired a new (Used) Entomology Cabinet and will spend the next several days arranging drawers and getting ready to expand several drawers of specimens for Speyeria, Colias and numerous drawers of Noctuidae.
Later this year I will be relocating to the greater Cleveland, Ohio area to be near to my older son and his family, other members of my family and numerous old friends. I am a native of Cleveland, Ohio.
If I seem to have disappeared from Insectnet, I will probably be relocating. I hate moving, especially my collection.

Good luck with the move, do let us know how things go whenever you have a chance. I am sure everyone will look forward to you resuming regular posting when you are settled down in Cleveland.
Adam.
