Mothing update for SE Arizona

[Bruce Walsh]

While the Monsoons have yet to hit South-eastern Arizona, great stuff is
starting to come out at high elevations.  Here's a few of the highlights
from
Saturday night collecting at  Onion Saddle, Chirichahua Mountains , SE
Arizona (Cochise County) 7700 feet.  I've given a number of links below for
photos, etc.  Tons of Noctuidae,  Geometridae, and Notodontidae species,
but I won't bore all with the details.
