EPT List for Central Virginia, 2017


Not yet -- but pretty soon we'll see those beautiful colors of autumn.

Since readers on occasion look at the EPT list that I posted in 2012, I thought I should probably update that list in this entry.    Included are additions and corrections, and in some cases taxa names have been changed by entomologists.  Also included are taxa I've seen but others have found all duly noted.  As I did for awhile with the entry of 2012, I will try to go back to this list and make changes as they occur: I'll note such changes in future postings.  Please be clear that this is not an "official" list of EPT taxa that are here; it's a list of the taxa that I've found, including some things that have been found by my friends.
