July Challenge: National Moth Week!
July's MHC iNaturalist challenge will be to find moths during National Moth Week. This annual event is like a worldwide BioBlitz just looking for moths. Leave a light on and see what comes to you! For more info, visit the National Moth Week iNaturalist Project or the National Moth Week website.
For our project, let's see who can find the most moths to add to our collection. Currently, we have only THREE moths in this whole project: a teeny Pug Moth caterpillar I found, this very cool day-flying Nessus Sphinx found by @ccali, and this magnificent Elm Sphinx found by @lisabrundage. Let's get some more!
