The Mulberry Wing
A different approach this week. The poor field weather of late has motivated me to plunge into my off season work of identification and cataloging (and to keep closer tabs on the pennant race). This year I decided to start with the micro moths. I had planned to work a few in during the season but there were always interesting macros to use. So here’s one now -- a little gem that appeared for me in Litchfield County , CT back on July 11. This is Archips dissitana, from the family Tortrcidae.
