   Today’s posting is hardly an “alert”, since it dates from last fall, but I thought that it was sufficiently interesting that it certainly ought to be shared.  Robin Robinson writes that he saw some moths that “were hibernating in a prospector mine shaft that I was looking through last fall on Jocelyn Hill. There were probably about 50 of them on the ceiling of the cave.”
