The Mulberry Wing
I could easily overdo it saying that I've added another species to the Jamaica Bay list that I never would have expected. But I'll say that now. This is a Cattail Borer Moth (Bellura obliqua). I can't say that I know of cattails or any of the other listed host plants occurring at Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge. I know we have a lot of Phragmites. It's something I will have to look into. The date of this record was June 13. 

To make up for lost time and an upcoming vacation, I've added a few MOWs at this time. Please review.
