Station story

This station has documented 5 moth species from 5 observations. The dataset spans 2 moth sessions from 2026-07-13 through 2026-07-17. Double-banded Carpet Moth (Spargania magnoliata) is the strongest station-associated species by current share of network observations.

Week at the sheet

A recap of the most recently completed Monday-through-Sunday week at this station.

Last week (2026-08-24 to 2026-08-30) was quiet at this station -- no species-level observations recorded.

Recent observations

Latest synced observations from this station.

Predicted next 10 moths

The ten moth species not yet recorded at Second St with the strongest near-term seasonal evidence within 100 km. Nearby iNaturalist records from the next 14 calendar days set the order, with this week's records weighted slightly more than next week's. Species with at least four timed tracked records move behind the other candidates when half or fewer fall during sheet-compatible hours (6 p.m. to 10 a.m.). Host associations are shown as context but do not change the ranking. This is a watchlist for likely next new station records, not a guarantee for any one sheet night.

About this data

Host-plant records come from HOSTS: a Database of the World's Lepidopteran Hostplants (Natural History Museum, London), a CC0-licensed archive from the Natural History Museum, London. It has not been updated since 2023, so it reflects historical literature rather than necessarily current or local usage -- some matches are only known at the genus level, not the exact species, and some confirmed species here have no HOSTS record at all. All Lepidoptera (moth) species reported in New York State on iNaturalist (place_id=48, excluding butterflies), not just species tracked by this project's stations. Retrieved 2026-07-21.
