The Grapevine Epimenis looks so cool!
Probably our flashiest early moth here. Easy to mistake for a butterfly since it flies during the day.The Grapevine Epimenis looks so cool!
WOW @ the Imperial Fruit Sucking Moth, Horsfield's Tussock Moth, Frothers, Urapteroides astheniata, and Many-Plumed Moth! Love the Paracrama latimargo too (green moths ftw). So many cool moths!Since I'm gonna be moving back soon, I'd thought I'd share a list of all the Lepidoptera my older brother has assembled the whole time we were here.
Here are his observations.
I have seen caterpillars of the american lappet moth! there pretty cool caterpillars that show red stripes when threatened!Still nothing new, but here are some more nice repeat visitors from the past week or so: an American Lappet Moth, Dogwood Thyatirid, Blackberry Looper and, my first sphingid of the year, Walnut Sphinx. Might need to start saving my juiciticity for new ones though. My rechargeable batteries are DYING... Dx
I also spotted some morels growing by the creek (might be a new species for me but I'm not 100%) and discovered a wild Hoppip.
