Just 3 species in the trap last night.  Nothing new for the year but there was a another Gallium Sphinx Moth (Hyles gallii) so it seems to be a good year for them.  I spent the weekend in the Twin Butte area of southern Alberta so I'll post a few photographs of the species I found there.  The Subdued Arches (Lacanobia subjuncta) was a new species for me.  Another common name for the latter is Speckled Cutworm moth.
