Nevada Buck Moth











For the past few weeks I have been helping to trap the Nevada Buck Moth. The ent0mologist studying these moths is hoping to learn more about the phermones used to attract the males to the females. The traps are baited with different phermones and then set out in different locations. Later in the day we returned to check which phermone mixture caught the most males. The moths are then released. We have been catching between 150-200 moths each day.

Coming and leaving work





Took these shots when I arrived at work (6:30) and again when I left to go home (4:30).
