Fwd: Black Witch Moth - Atlanta, GA - Jul 26, 2009

[Mike Quinn]

Erin sent a photo of a worn female BWM.

I have relatively few BWM records from Georgia, though I've been getting a
number of reports from Florida of last so I take it they were a bit restless
to the south...

Am also getting the usual large number of BWM reports from across Texas, but
none (save this one) from other states yet...
