We did do a few other things besides moths.  We took the “Three Bench Walk” – up to the top of the bluff, and through our largest prairies – about 4 miles.

We put up the lights that night, and attracted lots of moths, and a few other creatures.

This is a caddisfly – probably in the genus  Nectopsyche.  Adult caddisflies have wedge-shaped wings and very long antennae.  They’re very common at my lights.

Here are the moths.  I’ve labeled them with common names – to see the scientific names, hover your mouse over the photos.  Click on a picture to see the larger version.
