The Mulberry Wing
If you thought I missed a week, you're right. Some PC problems gave me no choice over that. But I'm back this week, with a colorful entry. This is an American Ear Moth (Amphipoea americana) of the Noctuid subfamily Amphipyrinae. It was found July 19 at the James Ramsay Hunt Sanctuary in Westchester County, NY. I'm not quite sure what's going on with that hind wing.
