The Mulberry Wing
I don't think that I've used a dagger moth from the large genus Acronicta on this page, as it's one of those groups that I put aside until I do my winter cataloging. In other words, I'm usually unclear about what I have at the time. Well, this one I knew from my travels to northern Connecticut and I knew just what it was when I got my first Westchester record June 25. Ironically, it's called the Unclear Dagger Moth (Acronicta increta).  The site was Ward Pound Ridge Reservation.
