The following 29 additional species of Moths have not yet been reported from Kerr County, but have been reported from one of the immediate surrounding counties which share a county line with Kerr (Kendall, Kimble, Edwards, Real), and might reasonably be expected to occur here. No additional species have been documented from Bandera County. No species at all are listed as documented from Gillespie County! The list includes Common Name, Scientific name (Counties where documented). All county record information here is derived from the Moths of North America at the Northern Prairie Wildlife Research Center (April 2003) range maps and searchable database, for which i am much indebted and appreciative.
