I have a few unidentified, too. I'm trying to get my beetle count up! :-)

That's pretty impressive. I have about 30 adult moth spottings, though I think a few of them are still unidentified.

I really need to start building one! Doing a rough count of my spottings, there are about 220 unique moths, though I still have quite a few to upload that are new for me!

J, I'm curious how many moths you have on your life list.
