September Moth Events

When only one person in a group sees an insect with only 8 other observations, you don't really expect to see it again, but Megacerus coryphae surprised us! It showed up on every light station last month at DPP. https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/232211265. We've also enjoyed fireflies at DPP the last couple of months and hope to see them again this month before their season fades away.

A great excuse for more mothing comes next month with the Texas Pollinator Bioblitz, Oct 11-27: https://www.inaturalist.org/projects/2024-texas-pollinator-bioblitz. Stay tuned for events in different locations.

Pipeline fire update as of Fri pm - Re the pipeline fire that broke out Monday Sep 16 just east of the prairie, residents were allowed to return to their homes Wednesday evening and the fire was finally extinguished Thursday night. Be aware that the westbound lanes of Spencer Hwy between Luella and East Blvd have been rerouted so be careful as you approach Luella. As far as I can tell there are no air quality alerts related to the fire.

Please park on the school side of the street, not in front of neighbors' homes. All attendees are asked to sign a liability release form.
