The next several days will have more spring like weather here in NE Ohio. Daytime temperatures in the upper 60°F and night time temperatures in the upper 50°F. I will be out in the field today checking bait traps and adding bait and water. It has not been a good winter for cold weather/Winter Moths.

Thursday I ventured out to Killdeer Plains to check my Bait Traps and set out several Pheromon Traps for Sessidea.
The Bait Traps had lots of moths. Many moths of both Noctuidae and Erebidae. I collected At least five (5) species of Lithophanae, several Eupsilia, one of which I was unable to ID. I also collected a rather large female of Nymphalis antiopa which I let fly.
The area has received several inches of rain in the past few days and many of the roads were under water.

I forgot to mention a new Lithophane I collected in the Mantua Wetlands: Lithophane innominata. It is new to me.
I also collected Lithophane baileyi in a Bait Trap near the Mantua Wetlands. It is new to me as well.

I collected a number of Zale moths in the Bait Trap in my back yard. I got a nice female of Zale minerea.
My back yard trap and a single Bait Trap in Grand River WA collected a dozen Nymphalis antiopa. Three (3) were females. I have them gaged with Willow.
I also saw two Colias eurytheme. Too fast for this old man.
