<div class="WordSection1">
<p class="MsoNormal">On July 27, 2022 I traveled west on Rt. 86 in southern Arizona and stopped at the unincorporated area of San Simon (Subway, gas station, general store) at about 3 PM MST. This area, especially by the store lights and gas pumps, had hundreds
of Euscirrhopterus cosyra, the staghorn cholla moth. The area is low sandy desert that sometime floods; I believe monsoon rains this summer and last had spread over this area. I had never seen this moth on any previous stops. The gas station/casino at Why,
Arizona, 20 miles west, had no moths. Most moths were gone by July 28 (new moon).</p>
