Western Arizona

A few months ago I was out collecting in western Arizona and failed to follow through with any images or updates on that trip. Добро, it was a success and well worth the miles to get there!

To all you Moth-ers

For those who are not aware, a new book hit the market at the end of last year. “The Moths of Western North America“, Powell and Opler.
