  • Grand Teton National Park Youngest Range in the Rockies
    GRAND TETON NATIONAL PARK YOUNGEST RANGE IN THE ROCKIES the town of Moran. Others recognized that dudes winter better than cows and began operating dude ranches. The JY and the Bar BC were established in 1908 and 1912, respectively. By the 1920s, dude ranch- ing made significant contributions to the valley’s economy. At this time some local residents real- ized that scenery and wildlife (especially elk) were valuable resources to be conserved rather than exploited. Evolution of a Dream The birth of present-day Grand Teton National Park involved controversy and a struggle that lasted several decades. Animosity toward expanding governmental control and a perceived loss of individual freedoms fueled anti-park senti- ments in Jackson Hole that nearly derailed estab- lishment of the park. By contrast, Yellowstone National Park benefited from an expedient and near universal agreement for its creation in 1872. The world's first national park took only two years from idea to reality; however Grand Teton National Park evolved through a burdensome process requiring three separate governmental Mt. Moran. National Park Service Photo. acts and a series of compromises: The original Grand Teton National Park, set Towering more than a mile above the valley of dazzled fur traders. Although evidence is incon- aside by an act of Congress in 1929, included Jackson Hole, the Grand Teton rises to 13,770 clusive, John Colter probably explored the area in only the Teton Range and six glacial lakes at the feet.

Prior © 2020 1 Sun Rising NBG Moth Surveys 2020 Introduction After the atrocious weather experienced going back to the last couple of months of 2019 it seems miraculous that six visits were made to Sun Rising during 2020. Throw in a frustrating global virus and it is even more so! Most were arranged at very short notice to take advantage of whatever decent weather was on offer. There were a couple of breezy nights, but they were mild enough to make them worthwhile and all were productive with additions of new species to further lengthen the site list. Visit 1 – 20th May, 2020 The weather finally relented towards the end of May and after all that had gone on earlier in the year it was decided that Martin Kennard and I should use this as a “test” night to see if we could carry on moth recording safely. Neither of us thought there should be any problem with that as by the very nature of moth recording we are widely separated.

  • Common-Scottish-Moths-Online
    lea rn abo ut Scotlan d’s common moths Yellow Shell (Roy Leverton) Scotland has only 36 butterflies but around 1500 different moths. They can be found everywhere from sandy shores to the tops of Scotland’s highest mountains. Even a small urban garden can be visited by around 100 species. In fact, wherever there are plants there will be moths. Moths are fascinating and very easy to observe and study. This leaflet will help you identify some of the commonest and show you what you need to start “mothing ”. Moths have the same life-cycle as butterflies with four stages; 1. Egg (ovum) 2. Caterpillar (larva) 3. Pupa (chrysalis) 4. Adult (imago) They also both belong to the same order Lepidoptera derived from the Greek ‘ lepis’ = scale and ‘ pteron’ = wing, and have two pairs of wings. Moth Myths 1. All moths are dull, brown and less colourful than butterflies. This is simply not true. Several moths are very brightly coloured whilst others are cryptically marked and beautifully camouflaged. 2. All moths fly at night. Most species do but many only fly during the day, or fly both by day and night. 3. Only butterflies have clubbed antennae. Almost true, but the day-flying Burnet moths are the main exception to this rule possessing club-like antennae. 4. All moths eat clothe s. In Scotland only three or four of the c1500 species of moths do so and they prefer dirty clothes hidden away in the dark, and don’t like being disturbed or spring-cleaned! Macro or Micro? Moths are artificially divided into two groups; the macros (larger) and micros (smaller).

  • Pests in Northwestern Washington Prompted a 1994-1995 CAPS Survey of Apple Trees to Identify All Leaf-Feeding Apple Pests Currently in Whatcom County
    6. Biology / Phenology a. Biology 1. Exotic Fruit Tree Pests in Whatcom County, Washington Eric LaGasa Plant Services Div., Wash. St. Dept. of Agriculture P.O. Box 42560, Olympia, Washington 98504-2560 (360) 902-2063 [email protected] The Washington State Department of Agriculture (WSDA) has conducted detection surveys and other field projects for exotic pests since the mid-1980's, with funding provided by the USDA/ APHIS Cooperative Agricultural Pest Survey (CAPS) program. Recent discovery of several exotic fruit tree pests in northwestern Washington prompted a 1994-1995 CAPS survey of apple trees to identify all leaf-feeding apple pests currently in Whatcom County. Additional exotic apple pest species, new to either the region or U.S. were discovered. This paper presents some brief descriptions of species detected in that project, and other exotic fruit tree pest species discovered in northwest Washington since 1985. Table 1. - Exotic Fruit Tree Pests New to Northwestern Washington State - 1985 to 1995 green pug moth - Geometridae: Chloroclystis rectangulata (L.) An early, persistent European pest of apple, pear, cherry and other fruit trees. Larvae attack buds, blossoms, and leaves from March to June. Damage to blossoms causes considerable deformation of fruit. Larvae are common in apple blossoms in Whatcom County, where it was first reared from apple trees in 1994. This pest, new to North America, was also recently detected in the northeastern U.S. Croesia holmiana - Tortricidae: Croesia holmiana (L.) A common pest of many fruit trees and ornamental plants in Europe and Asia, where it is considered a minor problem. Spring larval feeding affects only leaves.

Eupithecia inveterata nom. nov. for £ trita Vojnits, 1977 (secondary homonym, nec E. trita Turati, 1926). The separation as a subspecies of the Central European po­ pulations of Eupithecia sinuosaria Ev., an actively spreading species, is unrealistic. The paleozoographic analysis of most Eupithecia species rest on insufficient fun- dations. 1. Eupithecia silenicolata zengoeensis Fazekas, 1979 syn. nov. Linnaeana Bel- gica, 11: 406-411, figs. 1-4. Eupithecia silenicolata silenicolata Mabille, 1866 Ann. S. Fr., p. 562. Subspecific name. The Author named the new taxon after highest point in the Mec- sek Mountains, the 682 meters high Mount Zengo, mentioning that this place is the typical location of the subspecies. Following this he stated that the subspecies lives at altitudes between 200-350 m. These areas are entirely different from those of Mount Zengo and its environs, if a taxonomical name is given to a taxon, it should not be misleading under any circumstances. Diagnosis. Of the nine specimens which served as the basis for the description, one is in more or less good condition, one is slightly and the other seven are heavily worn.

  • Botolph's Bridge, Hythe Redoubt, Hythe Ranges West And
    Folkestone and Hythe Birds Tetrad Guide: TR13 G (Botolph’s Bridge, Hythe Redoubt, Hythe Ranges West, and Nickolls Quarry) The tetrad TR13 G contains a number of major local hotspots, with Nickolls Quarry, the Botolph’s Bridge area and part of Hythe Ranges located within its boundaries. As a consequence the tetrad has the richest diversity of breeding birds in the local area, with 71 species having a status of at least possible in the latest BTO Atlas survey. It also had the highest total of species (125) in the winter Atlas survey. Sadly a major housing development is now in progress at the Nickolls Quarry site and much of the best habitat is now being disturbed or lost. Nickolls Quarry has been watched since the late 1940s, though early coverage was patchy, particularly in the 1960s and 1970s. As a working quarry the site has undergone significant changes during this time, expanding from two small pits to a much larger area of open water, some of which has since been backfilled. During 2001 to 2004 a series of shallow pools were created which proved particularly attractive to waders. Nickolls Quarry in 1952 Nickolls Quarry in 1998 Looking roughly northwards across the 'old pit' Looking south-west across the site towards the Hythe Roughs towards Dungeness Although a major housing development is underway on the site it still contains some interesting habitats. The lake is easily the largest area of open water in the local area and so remains one of the best areas for wildfowl, particularly during cold weather, for example in December 2010 when there were peak counts of 170 Wigeon, 107 Coot, 104 Pochard, 100 Teal, 53 Tufted Duck, 34 Gadwall, 18 Mute Swan, 12 Pintail, 10 Bewick’s Swan, 8 Shoveler, singles of Goldeneye and Goosander, and 300 White-fronted Geese flew over.
