LEO says: There were four previous posts about moths in Alaska, in particular a post dated about a year earlier, July 21, 2013 to the west-northwest of Nondalton in the community of St. Mary's which is a new site record for the Tiger moth (Arctia caja) in that part of Alaska, according to Dr. Kendelm W.
