This was may be the third day I saw these whistling ducks. I got to see them flying a couple of times this morning before leaving for totality.

Moth observed at tundra communities trailhead at over 12,000 feet in altitude. Striking camouflage presumably to blend in with lichen.

Tinea apicimaculellaHavainnoija

Based on photos and feedback from others here and on BugGuide, all my previous "dark-collared tineidae" (frequent at this location) which show up at my lights have all been Homostinea curvilinealla (cf. https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/90188086). This is the first specimen of Tinea apicimaculella I have been able to recognize. ID from the prominent dark orbicular spot and the defined series of dark spots around the apex of the wing. This is also my 1000th species recorded on iNat!

Appears to be first Indiana record for iNaturalist. Not Geometridae as I thought at first look!

Male Halysidota sp., I believe these photos show the apical process extending longer than the blunt saccular process (https://bugguide.net/node/view/1626407). Moth was released and not dissected.
