This
one goes back to August 20 but I like it -- and it took
a little while to identify. With a shape like this, one
wouldn't think to look in the Catocalinae section of the
Noctuids, but that's where it is. It's called a Double-lined
Doryodes (Doryodes
biastrialis) and it was found at Floyd Bennet Field, Kings
co. The host plant is reported to be salt-meadow grass,
which should make it a natural around Jamaica Bay.
However, this is a first record for the area. |
