The Mulberry Wing
It's not the fanciest thing I've seen lately, but it's the species that campaigned the hardest for MOW honors. That was accomplished by adding itself to the Muttontown Preserve and Jamaica Bay lists on back to back nights. This is the latter entry, found at Floyd Bennet Field July 7. It's a Tesselate Dart (Euxoa tessellata), from the Noctuid subfamily Noctuinae.
