The weather was delightfully cool and partly sunny as seven volunteers completed the first survey of the season. As we continue our observations and add them to the database, now into the ninth year, we frequently note species appearing annually at almost the same time. One example is the leafroller moth shown below, which seems to be a February specialty.
