I'm spending a few days in the Twin Butte area in Southern Alberta.  I picked up three new moth species when we arrived at our cabin before it was dark!  There were two Glover's Silkmoths (Hyalophora gloveri), a species that I've been waiting to see for a number of years, a One-eyed Sphinx Moth (Smerinthus cerisyi) and a Sigmoid Prominent Moth (Clostera albosigma).  What a start to the weekend!
