The Mulberry Wing
Here's one from a site that isn't one of my survey sites. Why not? I haven't been getting to my survey sites much. I checked a few lights on my way to dragonfly atlasing in the Long Island Pine Barrens May 30. This Hickory Tussock Moth (Lophocampa caryae) of the family Arctiidae (tiger moths) was one of three around a light on the Manorville post office. It seemed the logical thing to do to deliver it to you.
