Thanks Karen. I'm not sure I'd describe myself as an expert, just an an amateur whose been moth trapping for a few years :). Thanks for the welcome. FYI, in case it's of interest I do a daily moth bolg of the moths of Calgary http://mothsofcalgary.blogspot.ca/.
Best,
Ian
What a wonderfully named moth!
