This is part of my sheet for the first night of National Moth Week ! I had 16 Imperial moths show up, along with 2 Royal Walnut moths (shown). Others that came to the lights that first night but not shown were a male Polyphemus and a female Luna. along with a multitude of other smaller moths. It was a good night !
