Lost River Cave - third annual Buggin’ Out Event
Public offered, nocturnal insect review. Insects were attracted to observation sheets via UV and mercury vapor lighting. They were then observed, photographed, identified and cataloged. Approximately 27 observers participated, both adults and children. Forty one (41) species were observed and photographed, six less than the forty seven (47) from last years event. Windy conditions hampered our efforts slightly. Several other species were attracted; however, photographs were not obtained because of the wind.
This is either Desmia maculalis or Desmia funeralis. A dorsal view photo and a photo of the underside of the abdomen along with a measurement of the wingspan are needed to separate the 2 species.
