The Mulberry Wing
Blacklighting in Litchfield County, CT June 5 produced a lot of geometers and it produced one surprise Noctuid for me. This obviously has the look of an Agrotis dart from the Noctuinae group. But aside from the ubiquitious Ipsilon Dart, it's a group that one expects in September and October. However, a check of my field guide showed that there is a double brooded candidate -- that being the Voluble Dart (Agrotis volubilis).
