MOURNING CLOAKS since March 26. Anglewings - all that I caught were GRAY
COMMAS - since March 29. A MILBERT'S TORTOISESHELL on April 17 and April 18.
COMPTON TORTOISESHELL on the 18th too.
On April 19, a moth I had raised from a caterpillar emerged from pupation.
The caterpillar was the same size and shape as a Woolly Bear, only its hairs
were pure orange-brown. The moth, which I imagine is a tiger moth, due to the
hairiness of the caterpillar, has a very thick brown body and mahogany
forewings with three black stripes on them. The middle stripe, which comes to a point
then curves away, is the most strident - the others are faint. The hindwings
are red, with a black margin and a black spot near the middle. The moth holds
its wings tent-like over its body. Does anybody know what it is?
Happy spring, which officially started today.
