Another very warm night revealed 38 moths of 29 species in the light trap.  There were 4 new species for the year.   One of them was a new backyard species, Cattail Borer Moth (Bellura obliqua).  Unfortunately, it was a little worse for wear but still fairly easy to identify. The other new species were:
Idia concisa near aemula - Currently an undescribed species.
Wood-colored Apamea (Apamea lignicolora)
Civil Rustic Moth (Platyperigea montana)
