I've
mentioned
before that mid August is the time for flower moths
(family Noctuide, subfamily Heliothinae). I might have
also mentioned that there are daytime possibilities with
this group. In fact, six species were turned up during
the day August 17 at Floyd Bennet Field, Kings co.,
including this one that had been eluding me until this
point. This is a Goldenrod Flower Moth (Schinia
nundina). This picture brings to 13 the
number of flower moths now documented from the Jamaica
Bay area. |
