Hey that's great...my place is in outside of Rosman & I've been in Headwaters Outfitters quite often. I'll stop by & see you.
Thank you! A friend and former professor of mine told me about this website. I have taken thousands of pictures that I will eventually upload. I see you love moths. I don't know much about terrestrial insects, but am looking forward to learning more about them. I would love to meet another naturalist in the area. I work for Headwaters Outfitters in Rosman during the summer....Ask for Kevin.
Welcome to ProjectNoah...nice to have someone else from Transylvania Co! I'll be there in July. Nice Trillium shot.
