The Mulberry Wing
I normally reserve this page for species that I know -- or I think I know. I'm not quite sure on this one, but it's the moth that most floated my boat (or whatever cliche') this past week -- as it is a new species for the Jamaica Bay survey. For now -- someone will correct me if I'm wrong -- I'll call this a Four-spotted Angle (Diagrammia quadrinotaria). Yes, I'm still looking for the spots -- the name doesn't refer to the small spots on the abdomen. The photograph was taken at Floyd Bennet Field, Kings co. on June 2.
