I've
extolled the virtue of checking that common milkweed for
moths. But don't go running out to check it because I
said so -- it's now out of bloom in most places. But if
you have butterfly bush around, that will be the ticket
for the next two months. This particular plant at Floyd
Bennet Field featured The Little Wife, Bay and Ultronia
Underwings, and various other moths including this Common
Hyppa (Hyppa xylinoides) -- a first
for the Jamaica Bay survey. The picture was taken July
16. |
