Somber Carpet (Disclisioprocta stellata)

[Hugh McGuinness]

Hello Lepidophiles,

There appears to be a small "invasion" of Disclisioprocta stellata (Somber Carpet) here on Long Island. Steve Walter found one at Floyd Bennett Field in Brooklyn on Oct 19 (see http://www.hmana.org/mulberry/mow/mow.htm) and I found two this past Saturday, Nov 5: one in Westhampton and one in Sag Harbor. These are the first I have ever seen on Long Island in 4 years of fairly intensive moth watching. Is anyone else in the northeast seeing any interesting late season southern strays?
