Exotic Moths

Hi Hugh,

I have attached a rough list of about 100+ introduced species that I have on
my computer. I have worked at it a bit but it is not complete. I deleted the
ones I know are introduced on the West Coast but a few micros may have
slipped through! I'm not sure about Cnidocampa flavescens and Ostrinia
nubilis, which have been suggested (the latter is a pretty good migrant).

I have attached it in MS-word and Word Perfect.

Thoughts, additions, corrections are welcomed.

Don
