Title: Rouge park moth night.....
Post by: gary yankech on August 24, 2013, 09:12:14 PM
I took photos and identified moths for the Rouge Park Moth night a few weekends ago. It was hard work, capturing, photographing and identifying; so far, 45 species have been identified.  Here are only a few samples:
