A no-brainer this week. This is
a Dot-lined White
(Artace cribraria) of the small family
Lasiocampidae (which includes the tent caterpillar
moths). The range is said to be Long Island, NY to
Florida; common in the south, uncommon to rare northward
(Covell). That doesn't tell me if it's resident here or
a stray. I can tell you that it is a first record for
the Jamaica Bay survey. It came to a building light at
Floyd Bennet Field October 2. |
