Wonderful! Are you reporting these to "BAMONA"; Butterflies and Moths of North America website. A citizen science project that helps lepidopterists track things.

Butterflies and Moths of North America, BAMONA, an organization dedicated to the extremely difficult and virtually impossible task of documenting and collecting all Lepidoptera species in North America. That'll take forever, go help them out if you got anything special. www.butterfliesandmoths.org

Christelle Bamona, CRL senior researcher & a co-author of the report, said rising use “is not a signal of satisfaction” with the product. Rather the pattern suggests workers are continually trying to make up for a shortfall in their paychecks resulting from repeated loans & fees.

I just encountered "Butterflies and Moths of North America (BAMONA)" and I like that it sounds like an organization

An early Milbert's tortoiseshell, apparently one of the earliest sightings in the San Luis Valley, Colorado, at least according to the BAMONA moderator for that area. March 2, North Crestone Campground. #Butterflies

Very nice to catch the Flutterby. Check out #Bamona, a site you can look up different species. I think this might be a "Painted Lady'

Check out BAMONA, you can send photos to a moderator? and they'll let you know the name, as well as put you on the ' north america' map :)

Yep, in the Blue group when the wings open. #Butterfly look up BAMONA

This turns out to be a rare moth for New Mexico. BAMONA has one other sighting in the state, on the plains about 100 miles northeast of Albuquerque. North American Moth Photographers Group has no sightings in the state.
