mystery moths

[Bill Conner]

Hey folks,

        A Wake Forest faculty member just returned from Beaver Creek,
Colorado with an interesting story. Home owners in the area are plagued
with medium sized noctuids (possibly in the genus Euxoa) that fill their
homes. Imagine as many as two hundred adults flying around in your
living room. This happens every July.
        The homeowners live at an elevation of about 9200ft. in an area
that is dominated by aspens. Any idea on what these critters are and how
they get into what appear to be well constructed homes.
        Thanks for helping with this.

Bill Conner
