Who's flying in MA right now?

Found a great Psychomorpha epimenis on my way to class this morning and started thinking about which species I should be setting light traps/baiting for. Does anyone know any Western MA (I'm in the Pioneer Valley) moths that have emerged and are flying right now? Any suggestions are appreciated; I have a lot of habitats to trap and I'm trying to narrow it down by species ecology, and with finals week I don't have a ton of time to go through my guides species-by-species.

This might help
I have a month by month account of the moths I photograph in north central Massachusetts here.

If you click on Search without putting anything in the box
you will go deeper into search where you can do an advanced search. You can put 57 into Taxon for leps, click on April and on Mass and you will get 454 results for "April in Massachusetts"! You can fine tune that by picking a County also.
Or just click here and click on Go.
