"Elizabeth and I had the most wonderful time at the Big Bend Nature Fest (http://www.bigbendnaturefest.com/). These observations were made during the ""blacklighting event"" led by Chuck Sexton and John Abbott. We were swarmed by all sorts of cool new bugs -- it was super exciting. I'll be working on ID's for lots of these later on, but I did want to upload them first. I'll use a lot of bugguide, moth photograph group, and the discover life moth guide to narrow down ID's. Although, if you do know some, I'd not turn down any guidance! :) Special note: blacklighting is prohibited in Big Bend National Park -- a permit was required for this event to take place."

Observed during the 2016 Tandy Hills BioBlitz! Great event with lots of wonderful participation. :) This was during the public night of mothing -- it was magnificent! Several people had their moth set ups too -- @annikaml , @catenatus , @melindawpajak . We spotted many different nocturnal critters, and I think that folks had a good time too. :)

I suspect this is another small Crambid?
