Notes:   Herman, thank you for all the moth id's. Unfortunately i do not have another way to contact you. They were on the grass between the beach and the tar road in 2 big swarms. They were all over the grass in bundles like on the photo and on the bushes next to the grass. Unfortunately i did not give much attention. They were very active though. Flew up and then bundling at another area, over and over again. I just took a few snaps. They were in the hundreds if not more. Not much info but all I have. Pse do not add.
