They do occassionaly make it all the way up here to Canada
The most bizarre from a personal standpoint was the only one I have
encountered. I was baiting trees in a small park in southern Alberta
(Willow Creek Provincial Park - west of Claresholm) on a windy night -
late - getting a bit spaced out. I was carrying on this conversation with
myself, which happens late at night when I have been up too long - and had
just finished saying wouldn't it be something if something like ........a
Black Witch showed up at my bait. Two trees later - there she was. So big
that my jar was too small, and she flushed. I went back to the van for the
gallon jar I had there, wondering if I had been hallucinating. When I came
back, she was back at the bait. I caught her, took her back to the van,
woke my wife up to show her this monster moth, took a picture - and turned
her loose. I figured she made it this far - maybe she would make it all the
way to Ken Philip in Alaska.
