| Northwestern Louisiana includes several
parishes: Caddo, Bossier, Webster, Claiborne, Bienville, DeSoto, Red
River, and Natchitoches Parishes. I have not found moths in all of these
parishes, but I hope to do that. Whenever I've seen moths in the wild, I
have tried to photograph them, but recently I've begun photographing them
in earnest. I set up a blacklight in my yard and take photos of all of
the new moths that are attracted the light. I mainly use the Moth
Photographers Group website to identify them, but when a moth is
particularly difficult to identify, I send it to BugGuide. The volunteers
there are often very helpful with identification. Note that there are
probably 1000 species of moth in this area. At this time I have photos of
689 of them. There is a
long way to go to complete this site. I also include moth
caterpillars in this website. If I have a photo of the moth
associated with that caterpillar, the moth will come first. Rosemary
Seidler, Charles Lyon, and Vicki LeFevers are also contributing photos to this
site.
