Coordinator notes: I recently contacted Les Ferge of WES regarding whether he thought there were more records of unusual moths showing up for this year and he didn't think so. He thought it was due to more people reporting from different areas of the state. I was also pleased that he took the time to look over some of the IDs I had made and suggested corrections for a few of them which I have done.
