User's notes
Have been seeing these months most mornings over the past few days. However at the end of January there were nne moths outside my door that morning. The caterpillar I collected earlier also emerged the same day bringing the tally to 10. The most of this species I have seen at one time. Nine the next couple of days and numbers are diminishing since - only five today. 5/2/2022 Revising the number to 12 as of last night.
